🌀 It's the start of Hurricane Preparedness Week!

The first step of preparing for hurricanes is to know your risk. Find out today what types of water and wind hazards could happen where you live. Hurricanes are not just a coastal problem. Impacts from wind and water can be felt hundreds of miles inland, and significant impacts can occur regardless of the storm’s strength. Know if you live in an area prone to flooding, if you live in an evacuation zone, and identify any structural weaknesses in your home.

Yesterday our neighbors needed us and we deployed. Providing water, gatorade and food to over 150 firefighters and public safety personnel at a major fire in Emanuel County. Special thanks to Statesboro Food Lion, Statesboro Little Caesars on Northside Drive for your donations and VOAD Chair Frank Davis for coordinating this response. What a remarkable display of community and neighbor helping neighbor. Prayers to the Hadden family.

A large-scale firefighting operation is underway east of Swainsboro following a fire that began Wednesday afternoon at a local junkyard. Crews from Emanuel County, Bulloch County, Statesboro, and several other surrounding areas have converged to battle the intense flames.
