080324-ema-2
NWS Charleston Saturday AM advisory

Bulloch County EMA Director Corey Kemp has released this Bulloch County update on Saturday, August 3, 2024 on Potential Tropical Cyclone Four.

Bulloch EMA remains in Increase Readiness phase.

Possible Potential Impacts

As of noon on Saturday, August 3rd.

Potential rainfall totals 6-8 inches.

There is a moderate to high chance of flash flooding.

Confidence is increasing that the system could stall somewhere along the Southeast coast.

Make a plan

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.

Code Red Alert

The City of Statesboro and Bulloch County announced a partnership to implement the CodeRED system, a high-speed emergency notification service provided by OnSolve, based in Ormond Beach, Florida. Public safety officials across the United States have credited CodeRED notifications for saving lives, including locating missing children, apprehending wanted criminals, and issuing timely evacuations.
