As Tropical Storm Idalia approaches the Jacksonville area, the City of Jacksonville has provided residents with the following information as the city works with the Emergency Operations Center to get prepared for the storm.
The EOC was activated Monday August 28, 2023 at 8 AM. It will remain active 24 hours a day through the duration of the storm. A State of Emergency Declaration allows the City to more easily allocate dollars and resources to best protect lives and property., the JaxReady mobile app and local media channels. Take steps to prepare yourself and your property.Secure anything outside that could blow into a building, window or storm system, including signs, garbage cans/lids, toys, etc.
Pick up any litter or loose yard debris around your home and secure it in a garbage bag or container.Gas and service your vehicles.Fill jugs and lidded containers with clean Jacksonville tap water.Listen frequently to radio, TV, or NOAA Weather Radio for status and forecasts of the storm’s progress.Does the City provide sandbags to prevent flooding?
Sandbags are not provided by the City. Jacksonville is a geographically diverse city, covering 840 square miles. The City’s stormwater needs and population size are different from neighboring counties. Residents who believe sandbags are a necessity should consult with their local hardware store. In addition to sandbags, the City does not provide batteries, flashlights, radios, ice, first aid kits or canned goods.
All bridges are open. The Florida Department of Transportation works closely with the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office and the Florida Highway Patrol to monitor wind conditions at area bridges. If winds exceed specified levels, FDOT will work with law enforcement to close affected bridges. Any bridge closures will be communicated via local media channels, social media, the City website and the JaxReady mobile app.
