The American Red Cross is working with JFRD to keep the community prepared this hurricane season

JACKSONVILLE, Fla — The American Red Cross and the Jacksonville Fire Rescue Department are partnering to distribute more than 400 Hurricane Preparedness Starter Buckets in the community along Ribault Manor this Saturday, August 12, at 10:30 a.m.

This area was chosen for the distribution site because it is identified as high-risk for flooding throughout the hurricane season.

The buckets include cleaning supplies, first aid kit, flashlights, batteries, and preparedness information from the Red Cross and JFRD.
