Orange County Government wants residents to be storm ready ahead of the peak of hurricane season. Starting Monday, the county is hosting a free self-serve sandbag program.

There is a limit of 10 bags per household. 

All filling sites are open from 8 a.m to 8 p.m Monday through Sunday. The program runs through August 31 and is on a first-come, first-serve basis.
