Flagler County as of 1:30 p.m. Thursday is urging those residents of Bulow Mobile Home Park, Flagler Beach Polo Club West, Bulow Woods, Seaside Landings, Flagler Beach Polo Club, as well as the previously evacuated areas off of Lambert Avenue and Palm Drive — also known as Hurricane Evacuation Zone B — to leave immediately due to expectations of significant flooding.

Additionally, residents in the non-elevated homes in the low-lying areas surrounding and near Crescent Lake and Dead Lake to include Daytona North — also known as Hurricane Evacuation Zone F — are to also leave the area.

“We urge residents in these areas to leave immediately due to updated expectations of significant flooding and the potential to impact your homes,” said Emergency Management Director Jonathan Lord. “Additionally, as the flooding progresses it is possible that emergency vehicles will no longer have access to your neighborhood.”

Residents are encouraged to stay with friends or relatives outside of these low-lying areas or go to the public shelter at Rymfire Elementary School that just opened to the general population as the city of Bunnell’s water utilities are taxed. Residents are asked to leave as soon as possible as peak flooding will occur overnight.

Rymfire Elementary is located at 1425 Rymfire Drive in Palm Coast.

Residents utilizing shelters are encouraged to bring their own bedding. Single/twin size inflatable mattresses are preferred due to the space limitations.

All residents should bring:

  • Five-day supply of all medications
  • Medical supplies and equipment
  • Sleeping bags, pillows, and blankets
  • Extra chargers and batteries for electronics
  • Headphones for music devices
  • Snacks and “comfort foods” – meals will be served
  • Important documents including identification, medical history, and insurance
  • No weapons allowed
  • No illegal narcotics allowed
  • No alcohol allowed

At the www.flaglercounty.gov/emergency website, residents can sign up for the ALERTFlagler notification system, directly accessible at www.flaglercounty.gov/alertflagler.
