October 10, 2024 – Due to ongoing concerns regarding general community safety after dark, the curfew remains in effect for Flagler County from 7 p.m. to 7:30 a.m. until further notice. This decision aims to ensure the safety of all residents and allow emergency personnel to effectively manage any incidents that may arise during the nighttime hours.

Emergency Management officials stress the importance of this curfew as hazardous conditions may persist, that are exacerbated at night. “We are prioritizing the safety of our community. The curfew is a precautionary measure that allows first responders to operate without interference and protects residents from potential dangers associated with flooding, downed powerlines, and debris,” said Flagler County Emergency Management Director, Jonathan Lord.

Why Rescind the Evacuation Order?

While the evacuation order has been lifted for the previously identified areas, officials want to remind residents that flooding, and storm surge conditions may still be intermittently present this evening along the Intracoastal Waterway and over the coming days in the Crescent Lake and Dead Lake areas. Residents are urged to remain informed and aware of this potential hazard and avoid these areas when flooding is present.
