If you are experiencing an emergency or your home is actively flooding, call 911 immediately. If floodwater entered your home but you are not in immediate danger, report the damage to 1PSL at 772-871-1775 (press 3). Reporting helps the City document storm damage and support potential FEMA disaster assistance. Reporting damage does not replace filing an insurance claim.
Welcome to our Flag Retirement Box Program—a respectful, community-driven initiative for retiring worn or tattered U.S. flags with dignity. On this page, you’ll find a map showing secure disposal-box locations, step-by-step guidelines on flag folding and packaging, and answers to frequently asked questions about the retirement process.
Whether you’re an individual or part of a civic group, you’ll learn how to drop off your flag and access downloadable resources on proper flag etiquette. Join us in honoring the symbol of our nation by ensuring every flag’s final journey is handled with care and respect.
Q: Can I retire a flag from another country? A: We accept only official U.S. flags. For other national flags, please contact your embassy or local cultural center.
Q: Are there any fees? A: No. Our program is entirely free, funded by volunteers and community grants.
Q: What happens after I drop off my flag? A: Volunteers collect flags weekly and conduct respectful retirement ceremonies by fire, in accordance with the U.S. Flag Code.
