Bulloch County EMA Director Corey Kemp notified Bulloch County citizens on Friday, August 2, 2024 that they are actively tracking Potential Tropical Cyclone Four.
Bulloch EMA has moved to Increase Readiness phase.
Director Kemp encourages citizens to take proactive steps now that will help navigate the impact of storms that arise next week.
While it's too early to predict exactly where and when it will arrive, it is essential for us all to be prepared. Whether it's your family or your business, the presence of this storm is an active reminder to thoroughly review and update your emergency plan:
- print a copy to ensure it is available during a loss of power
- verify and update contact information
- do you have emergency supplies of food, water, and fuel?
Remember generator safety if there is a loss of power. Inspect your property limbs, chairs, and trampolines. They can become flying projectiles.
Monitor weather updates such as the National Hurricane Center and National Weather Service CHS, Grice Connect or the local media of your choice.
