The 2026 Atlantic hurricane season is fast approaching, and Leon County Government and the City of Tallahassee are teaming up to host a media event to raise awareness and encourage residents to prepare. The event will take place on Monday, June 1, at 10 a.m. at the Public Safety Complex, located at 911 Easterwood Drive.
At the media event, County and City representatives, as well as local partners, will provide an overview of the season’s forecast and share practical steps residents can take now to protect themselves, their homes, and their neighborhoods.
