GADSDEN COUNTY, Fla. (WTXL) — After Hurricane Michael tore through Gadsden County in 2018, county leaders are making sure the community is prepared for this hurricane season.
Wednesday, they hosted the first of many outreach events that will be happening now through June.
A total of 150 people came out to Wednesday's event to learn about what supplies they need to stay safe, how to protect their property, and where they can find local shelters when a storm hits.
Community member, Oscar Clark, says events like this will really make a difference this season.
"Yes they sure did they gave me a lot of stuff hand sanitizer, wipes, everything."
