‼️ ‼️ UPDATED INFORMATION REGARDING TIME THAT SAND & SANDBAGS WILL BE AVAILABLE: ESTIMATED TIME OF ARRIVAL IS NOW 2:00 PM. ‼️ ‼️

The Jackson County Office of Emergency Services is closely monitoring Tropical Depression Two as it moves through the Gulf.

While the current forecast keeps Jackson County just outside the primary cone of uncertainty and significant strengthening is not anticipated at this time, tropical systems can still produce periods of heavy rainfall.

Out of an abundance of caution, Jackson County is making self-service sandbag locations available to residents who may wish to take proactive steps to help protect their property.

Sand and bags will be available beginning today at approximately 12:00 p.m. at the locations listed below. Residents are asked to bring their own shovels to fill sandbags.

Preparedness is about taking sensible precautions before they’re needed. If you live in a flood-prone area or simply want to be ready, these locations are available to help you prepare.

The Jackson County Office of Emergency Services will continue to monitor forecast conditions and share additional information if conditions change.
