The County Warning Point is Emergency Management’s Communications Center. The County Warning Point is manned 24-hours a day, 7 days a week. It serves as Palm Beach County’s after-hours contact point for every agency in the County other than the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office, Palm Beach County Fire-Rescue, and Water Utilities.
It also serves as a contact point for partner agencies such as the Florida Department of Transportation, the American Red Cross, and others. In addition to contact point duties on a day-to-day basis, Emergency Management Communicators provide disaster-related communications support to Emergency Management Duty Officers, and partner agencies. These Communicators also serve as backup 9-1-1 call takers for the backup Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP).
