The Palm Beach County/University of Florida IFAS Extension Service is offering its annual workshop for seasonal residents on how to safely secure your South Florida home for the summer. Seasonal residents need to be aware of the unique environmental concerns of housing in South Florida and why they differ from up north.

Learn how to prevent mold and mildew, what a humidistat does and how to properly set it. There are a number of steps that seasonal residents should take to reduce damage from floods or major storms that can help protect your valuable housing investment.

There is no charge for the workshop. Booklets with supporting information will be available for $5 each. For more information and to register, please call 561-233-1742.
