Palm Coast Citizens…Take the Survey

The City of Palm Coast is participating in a new University of Missouri-Columbia research study

regarding emergency tornado notification and is encouraging all Palm Coast residents to take the

survey. The survey will help researchers learn how residents and businesses inside the City were

notified of the Starlight Tornado threat on Dec. 14, 2013, and what they did with the information, in an

effort to understand how people receive and react to emergency information.

All adults who lived in Palm Coast in December 2013 are encouraged to take the survey – whether

they lived in the neighborhoods affected by the Starlight Tornado or not and whether they were

directly affected by the tornado or not.

The survey is now open and will remain open through Feb. 17. The survey can be completed online by

visiting: http://www.palmcoastgov.com/emergency/codered. Those who would prefer to complete the

survey by telephone may call toll-free at 800-453-8436.

The results of the survey will be shared with us in an effort to improve emergency communication

initiatives and outreach. For more information, please read the attached news release.

Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) is a lentivirus that affects cats worldwide.

Between 2.5% and 4.4% of cats worldwide are infected with FIV, and although it can

cause an AIDS-like syndrome, FIV is not typically fatal for cats. Many infected cats

can live relatively healthy lives as carriers and transmitters of the disease.

If you already have an FIV-positive cat, you’re the perfect home for a special needs

cat that might not otherwise be able to be adopted into a multiple-cat home. Most

shelters will have FIV-positive cats in need of homes, so your cat’s positive status

doesn’t have to stop you from providing a furry friend for your pet. FIV-positive cats

should only be placed with others that are positive, so make sure that they are of the

same status as your existing cat before you adopt.

Upcoming Events: Freedom Cycles of Daytona presents the Freedom Ride and Chili

Cook-Off taking place on Sunday, February 16th starting at 8:30am. You can pre-

register at Freedom Cycles for the Cook-Off and the Ride. There is no cost to enter

into the Chili Cook-Off and a $10 donation for the ride. Each ride registration

includes 2 free beers. Music is provided by Frank Roberts. Freedom Cycles of

Daytona is located at 841 Ridgewood Ave in Holly Hill. For more information please

call 386-882-2453 or visit www.freedomcyclesofdaytona.com.

The Flagler Humane Society will be participating in the Career Fair at Flagler Palm

Coast High School on February 27th from 8am-2pm. Representatives will be onsite

to talk about non-profit career opportunities with the Junior and Senior students.

FHS’ annual Bark and Bowl is schedule for March 2nd from 6pm-9pm at Palm Coast

Lanes. The event usually sells out, so get your tickets today! Tickets can be purchased

at the shelter, online, or at Palm Coast Lanes. Tickets are $20 and include 3 games of

bowling, shoe and ball rental, music with a DJ, and 1 beverage. For those that want to

attend for the festivities but don’t want to participate in the bowling, we are offering a

$10 non-bowler ticket. The event is 50s-themed so break out your best 50s attire!

Upcoming Outreach Events: Don’t forget that we have adoptable pets at the

Farmer’s Market in Flagler Beach every Friday and at PetSmart on Sundays. Come

out and meet all the furry friends that FHS volunteer Howard Tessler brings for

adoption.

Public Announcements: The Flagler Humane Society has a variety of subsidized or

their pets or community pets sterilized. Please call FHS at 386-445-1814 or email

[email protected] for general questions, or email [email protected] for grant-specific questions that we can be of

NEWS RELEASE – City of Palm Coast Contact: Cindi Lane, Communications & Marketing Manager 386-986-3708; cell 386-214-4729 Feb. 3, 2014 City of Palm Coast to participate in university research regarding emergency notification

Palm Coast, Fla. – The City of Palm Coast is participating in a new University of Missouri-Columbia research study regarding emergency tornado notification.

On Dec. 14, 2013, the National Weather Service reported an EF-1 tornado with maximum winds of 110 mph that touched down and crossed the northern sections of Palm Coast. The survey will help researchers learn how residents and businesses inside the City were notified of the tornado threat and what they did with the information, in an effort to understand how people receive and react to emergency information.

The survey will be open Monday, Feb. 3, through Monday, Feb. 17. The researchers are asking all adults (age 18 or older) who live(d) in Palm Coast in December 2013 to participate in the survey – whether they live(d) in the neighborhoods affected by the Starlight Tornado or not.

The survey may be completed online by visiting the City website at www.palmcoastgov.com and clicking on the CodeRED logo. Those who would prefer to complete the survey by telephone may call toll-free at 800-453-8436.

The results of the survey will be shared with the City of Palm Coast in an effort to continuously improve emergency communication initiatives and outreach. The City currently utilizes the CodeRED emergency notification system to provide automated warnings of impending severe thunderstorms, tornadoes and flash floods, as well as City or neighborhood emergency alerts. To register for future notifications, visit www.palmcoastgov.com to submit information into the emergency database, which will only be used for Palm Coast emergency alerts.

“We are very excited that our City was selected to participate in this survey, and we look forward to partnering with the University of Missouri-Columbia for this research initiative,” said Palm Coast Fire Chief Mike Beadle. “We encourage all of our residents who are over 18 to make sure they participate. The findings of this research will help us understand any communication limitations that exist within our community and ways we can improve early warning communication to our citizens to protect life and property.”

The University of Missouri-Columbia study will also survey residents and businesses in Douglas County, Ill., which was impacted by an EF-3 tornado in November 2013 for a comparison of emergency notification technology utilized and how it was received by the public for weather

warning notification. The principal investigator of this research is Stephanie Meyers, graduate student at the University of Missouri-Columbia.

Johnathan Emerson Lee Kollosch Boy Scout Troop 403 do 4 Chippeway Ct. Palm Coast, FL. 32137

Dear Johnathan:

Knowing that only 5% of the millions of US Boy Scouts meet the requirements for Eagle Scout status, it is my privilege to acknowledge a Palm Coast citizen who has now joined this esteemed group.

Congratulations to you, Johnathan, for demonstrating the spirit, service and leadership it requires to attain scouting's highest award. With spirit and dignity, you have exhibited strong ethics, a robust willingness to serve, along with impeccable decision-making skills that wi l l serve you well throughout your life.

I've learned a great deal about the AJROTC's Air Rifle Range project that you've recently organized and managed. Thanks to your fund raising efforts and supervisory skills, Matanzas High School Cadets have a much safer, more convenient environment for practicing marksmanship. I've also discovered various facts about some of the successes in your young life: your ranking as an Expert in Marksmanship; your qualification as Expert Rifleman in the Appleseed Course; your ranking as Captain in the AJROTC; and the 63 merit badges (twice the required amount) you've earned as a Scout.

As a fellow Eagle Scout, I know just how hard you've worked to achieve Eagle status and I know I speak for the Palm Coast City Council and our entire community in congratulating you and wishing you continued success. You have gained the life-long respect of your fellow scouts and citizens across the nation.

Jon l<lettfi Mayor
