Sandbags will be available to the citizens of Brooks County on a limited and self-serve basis in preparation for Hurricane Ian.

Beginning Wednesday at 9 a.m., the Brooks County Road Department will allow access to Brooks County residents to assemble sandbags with the limited availability of supplies on hand.

They request that this resource is only sought by residents who have a determined, emergent need, to block and/or reroute water on personal property in areas that present immediate damage to property based on preexisting saturated conditions.

Assembly and transport of the sandbags will be the responsibility of the citizens as the Brooks County Road Departments' labor resources are being purposed for storm preparations.

Staff will be on-site to provide organization, access and oversight only.
