As the Panhandle continues to watch the track of Hurricane Delta, sandbags have been made available at the north and south yards in Okaloosa County as of 4:00pm yesterday.

1759 S Ferdon Blvd, Crestview – In the Public Works Yard along Goodwin Ave.
710 Essex Rd, Ft. Walton Beach – outside the fence in the turn-around area.

Sandbags and sand are available 24/7 for citizens to fill on their own, free of charge. However, it might be a good idea to bring any bags you may have due to the possibility of supplies running out.
