JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Before Hurricane Helene makes landfall, you'll want to review your supplies and other factors to make sure you're prepared.
So far, there have not been evacuations ordered on the First Coast. The closest area to us to receive a mandatory evacuation notice was Suwannee County, just west of Interstate-75.
Below is important information to know regarding your evacuation zones.
