City Helps Community Prepare for 2025 Hurricane Season

PREP Workshops Coming Soon

May 06, 2025

With the 2025 hurricane season just around the corner, June 1 to November 30, the City of Tallahassee is preparing now to weather possible storms and urging residents to do the same. Personal preparedness can enhance safety and ease the recovery process.

To guide residents through planning, the City of Tallahassee will host three free community workshops as part of the City's Plan for Readiness and Emergency Preparedness (PREP) program. Attendees will hear from local experts about what supplies to have on hand; steps to protect people, pets and property; and available resources that can help residents prepare.

The sessions will be held in person from 6-8 p.m. at the following locations. Doors will open at 5:30 p.m. to allow attendees the opportunity to visit community partner tables for valuable information.

• May 15 - ALARM International Church, 2532 West Tharpe Street
• May 29 - Jake Gaither Community Center, 801 Bragg Drive
• June 10 - St. Peter's Anglican Cathedral, 4784 Thomasville Road

Additionally, the City will host a free workshop tailored for neighborhood leaders on May 6 from 5:30-7:30 p.m. at the Sue McCollum Community Center, 501 Ingleside Avenue. The presentation will begin at 6 p.m. This workshop will walk participants through the City's PREP Guide for Neighborhood Leaders, which is a structured process neighborhoods can use to organize and prepare together.
