BREVARD COUNTY • COCOA, FLORIDA – I just declared a State of Emergency for the City of Cocoa Beach to coincide with the Governor’s declaration for the State of Florida.

The commission meeting scheduled for this Thursday, has officially been cancelled.

I am having meetings throughout the day with city staff to include the Fire Chief, Police Chief and City Manager to coordinate emergency procedures for residents of Cocoa Beach and surrounding communities.

I will be sending out information/status on weather conditions and procedures as they become available.
Everyone should prepare for the worst, yet pray for the best.

God Bless, and stay tuned for more updates.

– Tim Tumulty, Mayor of Cocoa
