Sandbags still available at City Center. It’s very very busy so let’s be patient with each other!!! Glad to see so much goodwill out here with people helping each other.

[Don Burnette @PortOrangeMayor]

City crews continue working alongside WastePro to clean debris from Helene. They worked the weekend and will go until conditions worsen before Milton arrives. Please don’t cut down additional limbs as this slows the collection process and creates hazards! @cityportorange #Milton

[Don Burnette @PortOrangeMayor]

Just a reminder-as you’re doing your hurricane prep, when getting fuel for a generator or yard equipment, it is highly recommended that you get Ethanol free fuel. #Milton @cityportorange
