Flagler County wants its residents, businesses, and visitors to be in the know about the community and has launched an audio podcast called “Flagler in Focus.” The episodes are insightful discussions with local experts, community leaders, and others with stories to tell about all things Flagler.

The inaugural podcast is a conversation about “Preparing for the Storm” between Emergency Management Director Jonathan Lord and Communications and Engagement Manager Karen Callahan, the show’s host. Lord shares essential tips on hurricane preparedness, the county’s strategies for managing severe weather events, and what residents can do to stay safe during hurricanes.

“This is a very timely episode given what is happening in the Caribbean with Hurricane Beryl,” Callahan said. “It is Flagler County’s goal to make each episode pertinent what is happening in our community.”

A new podcast will be released each month. In addition to flaglercounty.gov/podcast and the county YouTube channel @FlaglerCounty, the podcast can be found on these platforms by searching “Flagler in Focus” on iHeart Radio, Spotify, Sound Cloud, Stitcher, Pandora, and Amazon Music and Audible.
