• Palm Beach County agencies conduct hurricane readiness drills (wpbf.com) — Hurricane readiness drills underway at Palm Beach County’s Emergency Operations Center specifically factor in past tornado impacts that swept through Wellington, Loxahatchee, The Acreage, and northern areas. Officials are stress-testing shelter openings, evacuations, fuel shortages, and damage assessment, and say new alert systems like Everbridge should improve warnings to fire stations. They urge residents to prepare now, regardless of seasonal forecasts.
