The City of Palm Coast is in the recovery phase following Hurricane Ian.

City staff conducted damage assessment city-wide on Friday, Sept. 30 to identify potential safety hazards. The city's facilities, parks and trails remain closed out of an abundance of caution. Many areas throughout our community have downed trees, significant saturation, and remain without power.

“While we were fortunate to have minimal damage in comparison to other parts of the state, Hurricane Ian has brought substantial damage, as well as flooding to certain areas of our city,” said City Manager Denise Bevan. “With this in mind, our public works, stormwater & engineering, fire department and utility departments have been collaborating their efforts with an ‘all hands on deck’ approach to assure we get the appropriate resources to the areas most in need of assistance as we begin our recovery efforts. Thank you to the community for your patience as we work to ensure everyone stays safe.”

Palm Coast City Hall and the Utility Office at 2 Utility Drive will be open for regular business on Monday, Oct. 3. For more information go to PalmCoast.gov
