Seven years ago, the Kissimmee community was forever changed with the tragic loss of Officer Matthew Baxter and Sergeant Sam Howard. The collective mourning that followed is a memory that will never fade for those who were here. Sam and Matt are remembered and deeply missed, and our prayers continue to be with their families and fellow law enforcement officers.
We will not forget.

Did you know that supporting local honey farms not only benefits your health but also helps sustain our environment? Local honey, like the delicious jars from 3 Beez Honey Farm, is packed with nutrients and may even ease allergy symptoms by exposing you to local pollen.

This National Honeybee Day, you can purchase 3 Bees Honey at the Osceola History Satellite Location inside the Kissimmee Main Street Welcome Station. By buying local, you're supporting a small business and helping our hardworking bees thrive! 🌼

Stop by today to grab your jar of pure, local honey and celebrate the sweet side of sustainability!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Release Date: August 2, 2024
Release Number: JNR-24-001

Sandbag Distribution Opens Today at 3 p.m.
Osceola County, Florida – In preparation for potential severe weather conditions, through a joint effort between Osceola County, Kissimmee and St. Cloud, residents may fill and make sandbags at Osceola Heritage Park beginning at 3 p.m. today, August 2, 2024.

Current information from the National Weather Service indicates that any potential impacts from the storm will likely be rain and not wind-driven. Residents in low-lying and flood-prone areas are urged to review their plans for heavy rainfall events. Based on observations, the County’s lakes and ponds have ample capacity to handle the expected rain.

Supplies will be provided including bags and sand. Residents are allowed 25 sandbags per household and will need to bring their own shovel or filling tool. Supplies are limited, and sandbags will be available for filling on a first-come, first-served basis.

Sandbag Distribution Location:

Osceola Heritage Park, (Shakerag Road): 1211 Shakerag Road, Kissimmee FL 34744
Hours of Operation: 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. today, and Saturday 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Sandbag Safety and Disposal Recommendations:

Osceola County recommends that residents store uncontaminated sandbags for reuse during possible future storms. Sandbags that have not come into contact with water can be saved to be used in case of additional flooding.
Uncontaminated sand can be used for gardens or flower beds and bags can be thrown in the garbage.
Never use the sand from sandbags to fill children’s sandboxes or playgrounds.
Residents wishing to dispose of sandbags may take them to the Bass Road Yard Waste Disposal Site at 750 S. Bass Road, Kissimmee, FL 34746.
All residents should continue to prepare for severe weather by creating a family plan and disaster supply kit, securing personal property and having a place to go in the event of an evacuation. Learn more at readyosceola.org.

Residents should stay informed by monitoring weather reports and by receiving emergency phone alerts through Osceola’s free AlertOsceola service, by texting the word “alertosceola” to 888777.

La arena no contaminada se puede usar para jardines o canteros de flores y las bolsas se pueden tirar a la basura.
Nunca utilice la arena de los sacos de arena para llenar los areneros o parques infantiles.
