Mayor Lenny Curry is gathering stakeholders from city leadership on Wednesday to give updates on hurricane preparedness before the start of hurricane season.

The meeting at the Prime Osborn Convention Center includes Curry and Mayor-elect Donna Deegan, along with Sheriff T.K. Waters, Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Chief Keith Powers and Emergency Preparedness Division Chief Andre Ayoub.
Ayoub took over the office early this month after the previous chief, Todd A. Smith, resigned his post amid what he called “unfounded allegations.”
Curry appointed Ayoub as the interim chief. He is a former police chief with 27 years of experience. He previously served as the Chief of the Special Events Division where he was the primary emergency preparedness point of contact for the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office.
The city leaders will hear from National Weather Service Meteorologist Angie Enyedi, JEA’s Raye Marshall, JTA’s Nat Ford, Chief Administrative Officer Brian Hughes and Deputy Chief Administrative Officer Dr. Charles Moreland.
