    Hurricane Michael caused catastrophic damage throughout Middle & SW GA. This emergency declaration will open up desperately needed resources to help communities provide basic services to their citizenry through FEMA’s Public Assistance program.

    As Hurricane nears land, take shelter & stay safe. 📱Follow weather updates on your phone or radio. 🔹 In a tornado WARNING, go to an interior, windowless room. 🔹 If water comes in, go to the highest floor that’s not flooded but do NOT enter a closed attic.

    A graphic titled Surviving Catastrophic Flooding. It depicts a cross section of a home and points out that people should not attempt to travel in flooded areas or go in the attic to escape flood waters. It urged people to move to a higher floor with windows and bring phone and supplies, and get on the roof as a last resort and call 9-1-1.

    There are several types of domestic violence & NONE of them are acceptable. Don’t ignore the red flags. If you think you/someone you know is experiencing intimate partner violence, call the National Domestic Violence Hotline @ 1-800-799-SAFE (7233).
