With the 2026 hurricane season imminent, 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 its Plan for Readiness and Emergency Preparedness (PREP) program. Attendees will hear from local experts about what supplies to have on hand; steps to take to protect people, pets and property; and available resources that can help residents prepare.
The sessions will be held on designated Tuesdays, in person, from 6-8 p.m. Doors for each session will open at 5 p.m. to allow attendees the opportunity to visit community partner tables for additional valuable information. The workshop schedule is below.
May 12 - ALARM International Church, 2532 West Tharpe Street
May 26 - Jake Gaither Community Center, 801 Bragg Drive
June 16 - St. Peter's Anglican Cathedral, 4784 Thomasville Road
For the three community workshops (May 12, May 26 and June 16), a youth component will also be available, featuring fun, age-appropriate activities and interactive learning about disaster preparedness. We encourage you to bring the whole family and make it a night of learning together. Youth will have their own space, supervised by dedicated City staff, to explore hands-on lessons about staying safe before, during and after emergencies while adults take part in the main workshop.
