ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. As the peak of hurricane season is approaching, Orange County is hosting a free self-serve sandbag program for residents. "The earlier (people) get the items they need for hurricane season, the more relaxed they can be," Emergency Manager Lauraleigh Avery said. While the sandbag program is a yearly staple, officials said there will be differences this year because of the coronavirus pandemic. Each resident that participates in the sandbag program will receive 10 sandbags, disposable face masks and hand sanitizer. The sandbag program begins on July 16 and runs through July 30.
