Palm Beach County’s Emergency Operations Center has been running at a level 2 activation since Sunday, Nov. 1, responding to a private aircraft crash and widespread flooding. The county has also declared a local state of emergency.
On Wednesday, Nov. 4, Gov. Ron DeSantis declared a state of emergency for Palm Beach County through Executive Order 26-228, according to the county’s daily update.
The county said it will keep releasing information about both incidents. Residents can get updates at pbc.gov, on the county’s Facebook page @PBCGOV, on Instagram @PalmBeachCountyfl and on X @PBCGOV. PBC-TV Channel 20 is also airing updates.
The update did not include new details about the crash or the extent of flood damage, so residents should check the county’s channels for the latest information.
