Sandbag Locations Starting Wednesday Morning
SHERIFF’S OFFICE SANDBAG LOCATIONS FOR PICKUP STARTING WEDNESDAY MORNING
Our Agency along with other Public Safety partners continue to monitor the storm projections of Hurricane Irma.
As a result of the potential impact to Brevard County, the Sheriff’s Office will begin distributing sandbags (at no cost) to our citizens starting tomorrow morning at four different locations throughout Brevard County.
In an effort to expedite the process, we will be using inmate labor to fill and load the sandbags directly into our citizens vehicles at the four different locations. This will be conducted under the supervision and direction of Sheriff’s Office employees. Each vehicle can obtain up to 10 free sandbags so they can help prepare their homes and businesses for potential flooding.
The four locations will be open for distribution starting Wednesday morning at 8:00 A.M. and will continue distributing through 6:00 P.M. with services continuing during the same hours on Thursday, Friday and Saturday or until supplies are gone.
The four locations are:
NORTH BREVARD AREA
Chain of Lakes Park
2300 Truman Scarborough Way
Titusville, Fl 32796
MERRITT ISLAND AND BEACHES
Mitchell Ellington Park
575 Hall Road
Merritt Island, FL 32953
CENTRAL BREVARD AREA
Calvary Chapel Church
2852 Fellowship Place
Viera, FL 32940
SOUTH BREVARD AREA
Max K. Rhodes Park
3410 Flanagan Avenue
West Melbourne, FL, 32904
Hopefully the utilization of inmate labor and four different distribution sites will lesson wait time so that everyone can obtain their sandbags and return home as quickly as possible to prepare their residences for potential impact from Hurricane Irma!!
Please continue to monitor the potential track of this major storm and take the necessary precautions to protect you, your family, your pets and your homes as we face another hurricane season together in Brevard County.
Thank you for all of your support and for partnering with us to ensure that everyone is safe during this potentially critical time.
