Beginning at approximately 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, July 25, 2026, Flotilla 10-10 of the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary, in partnership with Brunswick Landing Marina, will conduct a training exercise using expired aerial and hand-held flares at the marina.

The drill is intended to provide hands-on safety training and to prevent expired flares from entering hazardous waste landfills or local waterways.

Some of the aerial flares may be visible from long distances. Drivers and nearby residents may notice visual distress signals during the exercise.

These sightings are likely related to the scheduled drill and do not indicate an emergency.

We appreciate your awareness and cooperation as safety teams conduct this important training.

*Storm Smart Monday*

Did you know that lightning can strike up to 10 miles away from a thunderstorm? If you can hear thunder, you're close enough to be struck by lightning.

🌩️ Stay Storm Smart with these safety tips:
• When Thunder Roars, Go Indoors! Move into a sturdy building or a hard-topped vehicle.
• Avoid open fields, beaches, and hilltops.
• Stay away from trees, light poles, and metal fences.
• Get out of pools, lakes, and other bodies of water immediately.
• Avoid using corded electronics and plumbing until 30 minutes after the last clap of thunder.
• If you're driving, remain inside your vehicle until the storm passes.

🩹 Applying tourniquets and stopping the bleed
🪵 Cribbing techniques
🔍 Search and rescue operations
🚨 Emergency preparedness and how to serve their community when it matters most

Watching or team grow in confidence, leadership, and teamwork throughout the week has been incredible.

A huge thank you to all of our instructors, volunteers, parents, and community partners who helped make both our Adult and Teen CERT programs a success. We can't wait to see what these new CERT members accomplish!

☀️ Storm Smart Monday ☀️
The summer heat can be just as dangerous as severe storms. This week's reminder: Stay cool, stay hydrated, and know the signs of heat-related illness.
💧 Drink plenty of water—even if you don't feel thirsty.
🧢 Wear light-colored, loose-fitting clothing and take breaks in the shade or air conditioning.
🚗 Never leave children or pets in a parked vehicle, even for a few minutes.

Extreme heat can happen quickly, but a few simple precautions can help keep you and your loved ones safe.
Stay cool, stay safe, and have a great week!
