🌪️ Hurricane Season Starts June 1st! 🌪️

That’s right, Gilchrist County… it’s almost time for us all to suddenly remember where we put the flashlights, batteries, and that one weather radio from 2004. 😅

Now is the time to get prepared BEFORE a storm is in the Gulf and the shelves at the grocery store look like a bread and peanut butter apocalypse.

✅ Review your emergency plans
✅ Stock up on supplies
✅ Check generators and batteries
✅ Don’t forget your pets!
