Be Prepared
The city of Jacksonville has some great information available for FREE for it’s current and future residents. You start at their website and they have links to the other sites as well. You just need to bookmark or add to your favorites list the ones that you want or all of them. Read through their materials, download their brochures and booklets but most importantly you should sign up for the Community Notification website. They are sponsored by the City of Jacksonville under their program called CODE RED. This service will phone you when an imminent threat is made known about your neighborhood. You just fill out the online form with your address and phone number and the computer will call you when an alert has been issued. Some of the issues include bad weather, bioterriosts threats, blackouts and much more. Check it out
Events for October
Hey folks! I love the fall season. There are lots of things to do, see and experience during the month of October. One website I find that helps me find those events is the www.experiencejax.com/ There search engine is divided by sides of town, day of the month or a series of days and will also allow you to list only the FREE events. It is a great website. I use it regularly. Here is a sample of some of the events for October in the Jacksonville, Florida Arlington Area and of course are FREE:
