This morning, Mayor Karyn Cunningham and Vice Mayor Leanne Tellam toured the National Hurricane Center and the National Weather Service’s Miami-South Florida Forecast Office. The tour was conducted in order to assure the Village of Palmetto Bay is connected, informed and prepared for hurricane season. They were given a thorough explanation of the research, reporting and services of NHC, NOAA, FEMA and related agencies perform within the building and throughout South Florida.
They were also able to meet with Pete Gomez, the County’s new lead for the Office of Emergency Management. The Mayor and Vice Mayor focused on what can be done to inform our residents of this important work, prepare the Village for taking action before and after future storms, and ensure efficient and effective communication with County and neighboring municipal leaders concerning weather-related concerns.
