The City of Tampa has established four distribution sites to provide essential supplies to residents affected by Hurricane Milton. These sites include drive-through PODS, which distribute water, meals ready-to-eat (MREs), and ice at two locations: Gandy Boat Ramp and Al Lopez Park. The Al Lopez site also offers tarps, with additional supplies expected.

These PODS operate from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily and will remain open for up to a week or until supplies run out.

Additionally, Neighborhood Pop-Ups are distributing water, MREs, and hygiene kits at Babe Zaharias Golf Course and Copeland Park. These pop-ups have been set up in response to local flooding and will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Saturday and Sunday.

Residents seeking more information can contact the city at their office on East Jackson Street or via phone.
