TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) - As we officially enter the 2018 hurricane season, Leon County and City of Tallahassee leaders are hoping to help you be better prepared for potential disaster.

Friday morning the county unveiled the 2018 Hurricane Survival Guide.

Part of the guide includes preparing a kit with items like non-perishable food and water.

The guide also touched on Tallahassee's trees.

"We're a tree community and with the number of trees we've got, we have to make sure our citizens are aware and consistently making decisions to keep themselves safe and we know were working to keep them safe but they have to do the same thing," said Leon County Sheriff Walt McNeil.

Leon County is also hosting the Fourth Annual Build Your Bucket event Saturday.

Organizers will give away 800 buckets, stocked with critical supplies needed in case of emergency.

The event is set to begin at 9 a.m. at the North Florida Fairgrounds.
