Hurricane Dorian: Be Aware and Prepare
August 29, 2019
The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office in conjunction with the City of Jacksonville would like to remind citizens to "Be Aware and Prepare!"

  • Have a plan
  • Safely remove debris from gutters and drains
  • Assemble an emergency kit to include important medications, water, food, batteries/flashlights and hygiene products to support you and your family for several days
