With hurricane season officially starting on June 1, now is the time to prepare — and the City of Treasure Island is here to help. If you live on this beautiful stretch of Florida’s Gulf Coast, don’t miss the upcoming Hurricane Expo on Wednesday, May 28, from 6 to 8 p.m. at City Hall (10451 Gulf Blvd.).

This is more than just a public meeting — it’s your chance to hear directly from emergency management professionals and weather experts. One of the evening’s highlights will be a special presentation by Mike Clay, Chief Meteorologist for Spectrum Bay News 9, offering insights into what this year’s hurricane season might bring.

City and county officials will also be on-site to discuss storm response strategies, evacuation procedures, and how residents and businesses alike can best prepare before a storm hits.

Essential Safety Info for Every Resident

Attendees will walk away with practical safety and survival tips, as well as vital information about flood insurance and storm preparedness. It’s all about empowering the community with the tools and knowledge needed to stay safe.

To stay updated, residents are encouraged to visit mytreasureisland.com/stormready, where you can sign up for Alert Pinellas, check your evacuation zone, and explore a variety of storm prep resources.

Living on the coast has its advantages, but being hurricane-ready is a shared responsibility. This expo is a great opportunity to get informed, ask questions, and ensure you and your loved ones are ready for the season ahead.
