City of Port St. Lucie November Rain Event Advisory 1

Published on November 03, 2026

PORT ST. LUCIE – The City of Port St. Lucie continues to respond to the recent heavy rain event and is actively monitoring conditions throughout the community. The City’s Emergency Operations Center remains partially activated and staff is working closely with St. Lucie County and local partners to assess impacts, address concerns and keep residents informed.

City Hall remains closed today with an update for tomorrow coming out later today.

We urge residents to stay off the roads unless travel is absolutely necessary. Limiting traffic allows first responders and Public Works crews to safely clear roadways, respond to emergencies and repair storm-related damage, including potholes. Never drive through standing water. Floodwaters can be deeper and move faster than they appear, posing serious risks to drivers and vehicles. Remember: Turn Around, Don't Drown. If you encounter a flooded roadway, turn around and find an alternate route.

Shelters

Because of the excessive flooding and as waters continue to move west to east, St. Lucie County Emergency Management is opening temporary shelters for those who experienced flooding in their homes. 

• A general population shelter opened at Northport K-8 School, 250 NW Floresta Drive, Port St Lucie, FL 34983, at 11 a.m. 
• A special medical needs shelter is scheduled to open at the Havert L. Fenn Center, at 2000 Virginia Ave., Fort Pierce, FL 34982, at 1 p.m.   

How to report home flooding

If you are experiencing an emergency or are in a home that is actively flooding, call 911 immediately. If floodwater entered your home but you are not in immediate danger, please report the damage to 1PSL at 772-871-1775 as soon as possible. Reporting residential flooding helps the City document the extent of storm damage and supports efforts to seek potential FEMA disaster assistance. Reporting your damage does not replace filing an insurance claim. Homeowners and renters should still contact their insurance provider directly to begin the claims process.

Stranded Vehicles

The Port St. Lucie Police Department is working with local towing companies to remove and relocate vehicles that are obstructing roadways and affecting emergency response and recovery efforts. Vehicles removed as part of this operation are being transported to a private tow yard or the MIDFLORIDA Event Center, located at 9221 SE Event Center Place, which has been designated as the temporary vehicle storage and recovery location.

Residents who believe their vehicle may have been relocated should contact 1PSL at 772-871-1775 or the Port St. Lucie Police Department non-emergency line at 772-871-5000 for assistance in locating their vehicle. Please have your vehicle information available when calling.
