Regular household waste collection resumes on Monday. The collection schedule will be the normal collection schedule. This includes recycle collections.
County residents who live in the unincorporated areas of Flagler County are asked to place any storm-generated debris on the public right-of-way. Debris removal operations will begin on Monday, October 10. The public right-of-way is the area of residential property that extends from the street to the sidewalk, ditch, utility pole, or easement on PUBLIC ROADWAYS. This does not apply to PRIVATELY MAINTAINED ROADS.
Keep vegetative debris (woody burnable debris such as limbs and shrubbery) separated from construction and demolition debris, as they will be collected separately.
Only debris that was generated from the storm will be collected. Bagged debris should not be placed on the public right-of-way; only loose debris will be collected.

Brevard: For emergency help with roofs, water damage, tree removal or other home repairs, call 2-1-1.
Flagler: For general questions, please use the citizen information call-in line at 386-586-5111 or www.flagleremegency.com. Hours of operation are changing to 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. Call 9-1-1 for medical emergencies.

Cape Canaveral Hospital is expecting to open by Wednesday morning.
Florida Hospital Oceanside is closed.
Florida Hospital New Smyrna is closed to inpatients but is accepting walk-in patients in its emergency department. It is not accepting patients transported by ambulances.

Beaches:

Volusia County’s beaches are under a double red flag, which means water activities are prohibited. People should not be going into the water. The surf is still very dangerous with the rough surf conditions and a lot of debris in the water. There can be large and dangerous debris in the water.
Flagler beaches are closed until further notices due to safety issues.
