North Florida Inland Recovery.Rebuilding.Together.

Debbie Roney Smith on

North Florida Inland Recovery Group works to coordinate recovery services and build resiliency for individuals, families and entities adversely impacted by the 2018 Hurricane Michael in Calhoun and Jackson counties. On Oct. 10, 2018 Hurricane Michael made landfall as a Category 5 hurricane in Mexico Beach, Florida. With unprecedented force, the hurricane maintained Category 4 strength as it continued inland to devastate a 100-mile wide path from the coast of Florida to the Georgia state line.
Calhoun and Jackson counties were two of the inland counties hit the hardest by Michael’s sustained winds of 150+ mph which blew through for more than four straight hours. The wreckage left is unmatched. Nearly 75 percent of all structures in Calhoun and Jackson counties received significant to catastrophic damage. Today, community and faith-based leaders, as well as non-profit partners from across North Florida have joined to take on long term recovery in Calhoun and Jackson counties. The newly formed North Florida Inland Long Term Recovery Group is working closely with Carlene Anders of the Disaster Leadership Team to develop a strong organization that will help facilitate the rebuilding of these inland communities. To volunteer, donate, or get help, please go to the website below. All donations are tax-deductible.

Debris Update and Burn Ban lifted in Jackson County

Debbie Roney Smith on

 

 

Hurricane Michael hit almost 8 months ago and the Panhandle is working daily to clean up. The first round of debris cleanup ended over a month ago. Yesterday Jackson County released the new plan for the final debris pickup. Be sure to read all the rules and regulations on the blue flyer. If you have any questions about debris you can email them to: debris@jacksoncountyfl.com

The Florida Forest Service, Chipola Forestry Center, is issuing burn authorizations for Bay, Gulf, Calhoun, and Jackson Counties. Burn restrictions have been lifted in those counties due to substantial amounts of rain we have received in the last few days. Residents who plan to burn vegetative debris do not need a burn authorization as long as:
~The pile is less than 8 feet in diameter,
~You meet the required setbacks, and
~There are no local, city or county ordinances in place that prohibit burning.

Those needing a burn authorization or more information please go to the website below.
