The arrival of summer also signals the start of hurricane season. Now is the time for residents to review their Hurricane Preparedness Plans. Florida residents can take advantage of a “disaster preparedness” sales tax holiday through Friday, June 14, to purchase supplies like flashlights, batteries, and generators. Residents are encouraged to sign up for emergency alerts from the city, including severe weather advisories, by texting the keyword AlertCS to 888-777. For more information, visit CoralSprings.gov/Hurricane.
We’re pleased to announce that Deputy Chief John Whalen has been selected to serve as the new Fire Chief for the Coral Springs-Parkland Fire Department (CSPFD). Whalen will replace current Fire Chief Michael McNally, who announced his plans for retirement. Whalen will be formally sworn in during a Transfer of Command Ceremony on Friday, June 28.
Recently, Coral Springs was chosen as one of 12 cities to participate in the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) for Cities Local Government Leadership Program for 2024.
