🚨 BIG NEWS FOR SEMINOLE COUNTY 🚨

Seminole County Emergency Management Agency and Seminole County Georgia Sheriff's Office-911 are proud to collaborate to increase emergency readiness and public safety across Seminole County by transitioning our mass notification system from Hyper-Reach to REGROUP — now known locally as SEMINOLEREADY.

SEMINOLEREADY will allow county officials to quickly send out important alerts regarding:
⚠️ Severe Weather
🔥 Wildfires & Burn Bans
🚧 Road Closures & Emergencies
🌪 Tornado Warnings
🚔 Public Safety Alerts and Evacuations
💧 Utility Interruptions
and other critical emergency information affecting Seminole County residents.

📱 As we begin testing and launching the new system, residents may receive test calls, text messages, or emails from SEMINOLEREADY.

❗ PLEASE DO NOT BLOCK THE PHONE NUMBER, SHORT CODE, OR EMAIL ADDRESS ❗
These alerts are NOT SPAM — they are an important public safety tool designed to keep you and your family informed during emergencies.

We encourage all residents to stay connected and help us spread the word so everyone in Seminole County can stay prepared, informed, and READY.

**If you have already signed up through Hyper-Reach, your contact information will be automatically transferred to Regroup**

If you wish to signup, follow the link- https://SeminoleReady.app.regroup.com/contacts/sign_up

More information will be released soon.

🚨 PUBLIC NOTICE 🚨

We continue to respond to illegal outdoor burns across Seminole County, despite the current State of Emergency and statewide burn ban.

Let us be clear —
🔥 ALL outdoor burning is PROHIBITED right now.

Georgia is facing extreme drought conditions and historic wildfire activity, with thousands of acres burned across South Georgia.

The State of Georgia has issued:
• A State of Emergency for 91 counties
• A mandatory burn ban (first of its kind statewide)
• A 30-day prohibition on all outdoor burning, including yard debris and agricultural burns

Yet, we are STILL being dispatched to fires caused by illegal burning.

⚠️ Every illegal fire puts lives at risk

⚠️ One spark can destroy homes and property in these conditions

🚒 We need the public’s help NOW

✔️ Do NOT burn anything
✔️ Report illegal burning

🔥 Extreme Drought. High Fire Danger. No Exceptions.

Georgia is facing severe drought conditions, and wildfire risk is at a critical level. Right now, it only takes one spark to start a fast-moving, dangerous wildfire.

This is not the time for “safe enough.” Even everyday activities can have serious consequences in these conditions.

⚠️ What to remember:
➡️ There is no safe outdoor burning right now
➡️ Anything that creates a spark can ignite a wildfire
➡️ Fires can spread quickly and unpredictably in dry conditions

Our firefighters are responding to a high number of wildfires across the state—and we need everyone’s help to prevent the next one.

Every spark matters. Every decision matters.

Fighting fire. Protecting forests. Serving Georgia.
