All Brevard Schools Closed Wednesday and Thursday

Oct. 6th, 2024 -- 10pm: TheBlakeMoiaShow.com Staff Report

Brevard County Emergency Management officials have announced that Brevard County Schools on Wednesday and Thursday will be closed due to the impending impact of Hurricane Milton. The decision was made to ensure the safety of students and staff as the storm approached the area.

Hurricane Milton has been gaining strength and is expected to bring heavy rain and strong winds to the coast. The Brevard County School District prioritized the well-being of its community by taking proactive measures in response to the forecasted conditions.

The Blake Moia Show aims to provide timely updates and resources for parents and students navigating these challenging situations.

"The safety of our community remains the top priority as we face the challenges posed by Hurricane Milton", said a spokesperson. 

Join us on The Blake Moia Show as we continue to monitor the situation and provide updates on Hurricane Milton and its effects on Brevard County. Together, we can stay informed and prepared as we weather the storm.

 Emergency Officials urge residences to prepare your home by putting up hurricane shutters, ensuring your emergency supply kit is stocked, bringing in loose items from your yard, and keeping your storm drains clear

Now is not the time to trim your trees. If you have a pile of vegetative debris in your, be sure to call it into the appropriate waste collection agency by Monday.

Be sure you're following Brevard County Emergency Management on social media and that you've sign up for emergency notifications.

Water, toilet paper, and other "necessities" are sold out.  There have been reports of people panic buying and hoarding supplies. Some store placed quantity limits on high-demand items. 

Gas is low - with stations all across Melbourne and the surrounding areas running out earlier today. The Farm Store on Sarno and Croton in the Ixora Park Neighborhood, which also serves as a drive through convivence store, sold more than 10,000 gallons of fuel today.  Our source tells us that they only have less than 1,500 gallons of Unleaded left. 

The Chevron Station a mile down the road also has a few mor gallons of gasoline left.  They also have propane.

Cumberland Farms across the street on Sarno has gas, although first responders' vehicles will be prioritized.
