NR 24-12 UPDATE: Sheriff’s Office Sandbag Distribution Sites For Citizen Pickup

Sandbag distribution has been extended at all sites through Tuesday October 8, 2024.  Hours will be 8:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. (or until  supplies run out).

The Brevard County Sheriff’s Office along with the Board of County Commissioners and our Public Safety partners, continue to monitor the storm projections of Tropical Storm Milton.

As a result of a potential impact to Brevard County, the Sheriff’s Office will be distributing sandbags (at no cost) to our citizens, at five 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 citizen’s vehicles at four different locations.  This will be conducted under the direct supervision of Sheriff’s Office employees. Each vehicle can obtain up to 10 free sandbags, in order to help prepare and protect their homes and businesses.

These distribution locations (North Brevard Area, Central Brevard Area, Merritt Island Area and South Brevard Area) will be open for distribution Monday, October 7th, from 8:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. (or until supplies last).
