The City of Palm Coast is actively working to recover from the impacts of Hurricane Milton. As of Friday, October 11, 2024, 96 homes have reported damage, most of which fall into the lowest category, with only cosmetic issues. An additional 20 homes have sustained minor damage, while one has experienced major damage due to a fallen tree penetrating the roof.
If you have property damage, please make sure any contractor you hire is licensed. To ensure you find a licensed and reliable provider, you can use our Local Business Search tool at Local Business Search.
Several major roadways remain closed, including Seminole Woods Boulevard and Old Kings Road at Oak Trails Boulevard. Residents are urged to drive cautiously as crews continue to respond to reports of downed trees and power lines, and some water is still present on residential streets.
Palm Coast’s Utility Department would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all residents who have helped conserve water during this challenging time. This community effort has been crucial in allowing our wastewater system to begin recovering. Residents are still asked to limit non-essential water use, including irrigation and excessive laundry, until Monday morning as the system stabilizes.
