Weather conditions are favorable for a tropical storm or hurricane.  We are advising you against "riding out the storm aboard your boat/yacht."  

 

The fire department strongly recommends that you do NOT stay on your watercraft during a hurricane.  Rescue personnel may be unable to assist you during the height of the storm.

 

BE ADVISED
ANYONE WHO DECIDES TO STAY ON ANY BOAT/YACHT DURING A TROPICAL STORM OR HURRICANE IS DOING SO AT THEIR OWN RISK.  THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WILL NOT RISK THE LIVES AND SAFETY OF OUR PERSONNEL DURING HURRICANE CONDITIONS.
