Flagler County has a new hurricane resistant weather-monitoring station thanks to a partnership between Emergency Management and the Dunes Community Development District, according to a press release from the county.
“The result of this partnership is that we now have a Weatherstem monitoring station on the highest point of the Hammock Dunes Bridge,” said Emergency Management Director Jonathan Lord. “It will provide the necessary information about wind speed and other weather conditions that factor into our critical decision making, such as when to close the bridge during a tropical storm or hurricane.”
