Extension of Sandbag Distribution

Posted On: September 24, 2024

In anticipation of the area receiving Tropical Storm Helene impacts, Volusia County will continue to provide sandbags at the Volusia County Branch Jail, 1300 Red John Drive, Daytona Beach, until 5 p.m. today. The site will reopen tomorrow from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Residents must show proof of Volusia County residency and may receive up to 10 pre-filled sandbags per vehicle through the drive-thru line.

Several municipalities are also distributing sandbags. Most require proof of residency within their jurisdiction. Residents living in incorporated cities should contact their local government for eligibility guidelines.

Residents are encouraged to stay informed by downloading the new Volusia Emergency Management app, available on the App Store and Google Play. The app offers real-time weather alerts, important news updates, safety tips, and sandbag distribution locations.
