• Report to shape how New Port Richey approaches storm preparedness, public outreach (suncoastnews.com) — New Port Richey officials have adopted a new storm-preparedness outreach report that could boost the city’s flood insurance discounts and sharpen communication before and after hurricanes. A volunteer committee mapped flood‑prone areas, identified at‑risk audiences, and laid out specific timelines for expos, alerts, and post‑storm messaging. City leaders say the plan should improve safety and help residents better understand local flood risks.
   

• New faces, same standard (suncoastnews.com) — Mitchell High’s defending state champion boys soccer team in New Port Richey is rebuilding fast after graduating most of last year’s stars, leaning on a wave of talented freshmen.
