See a strange, jellyfish-shaped cloud in the sky this morning? Don’t worry — it’s not a weather phenomenon!

The unusual glow is caused by a SpaceX rocket launch, as exhaust and ice crystals interact with sunlight high in the atmosphere, creating a spectacular display.

Pretty cool to look at, but no weather alerts needed for this one! 🚀

EMA is up, caffeinated, and monitoring conditions as weather is expected to deteriorate throughout the morning. Keep an eye on National Weather Service updates and make sure you can receive weather alerts.

Cobb County, don’t wait until bedtime to prepare!

Strong wind gusts of 40–50 mph and heavy rain are expected as Hurricane Isaias moves inland. Power outages are likely to begin as the strong winds arrive, potentially overnight and before daybreak Saturday.

Take action tonight:

* Charge up: Charge phones and portable power banks.

* Enable alerts: Turn on emergency alerts and keep a way to receive weather warnings while you sleep.

* Secure your yard: Bring in loose outdoor items before the wind sends your trash cans on an unscheduled neighborhood tour.

* Prepare for outages: Keep flashlights, batteries, and essential supplies handy. Have a backup power plan for medical devices.

* Know where to shelter: Choose an interior room on the lowest floor, away from windows.

* Stay safe after the storm: Avoid downed power lines and flooded roads. Never operate a generator indoors or in a garage.

Take a few minutes to prepare now—not when the lights go out! Monitor official weather updates and make sure everyone in your household knows what to do if conditions worsen.

Stay weather-aware and stay safe, Cobb County!

What's your backup plan if the power goes out this weekend and you're left in the dark… literally?

With high winds in the forecast, now's the time to get your prep on!
Before the storm hits, take a few minutes to:

- Check your flashlights and batteries. Your phone flashlight is great until your battery hits 2% and you're still looking for your emergency supplies.

- Make a plan for medical devices and temperature-sensitive medications. Because some things simply can't wait for the power to come back on.

- Planning to use a generator? Keep it outdoors and away from windows and doors. Carbon monoxide is odorless, invisible, and nothing to mess around with.

- Keep the cold air where it belongs! Opening the fridge every 10 minutes won't magically bring the power back.

- Charge your phones and portable chargers now. You don't want your phone dying right when the weather app gets interesting.

- Secure loose outdoor items and those Halloween decorations. High winds are scary enough without your ghosts taking flight and haunting the whole neighborhood.

Don't wait until the lights go out to plan. A little preparation now can make a big difference when the weather gets rough.

Stay weather-aware and stay prepared, Cobb County!

Secure those outdoor decorations! Bring in or tie down your fall décor and Halloween inflatables. You don’t want the Hurricane Fairy delivering your yard skeletons to someone else’s front lawn!

Charge your devices. Phones and backup batteries should be ready to go in case the power goes out.

Enable weather alerts. Make sure Wireless Emergency Alerts are turned on and have multiple ways to receive warnings.

Bring pets inside and secure outdoor furniture, trash cans, and anything else the wind could pick up.

Stay weather aware. Stay prepared and monitor the forecast closely for changes.

📢 OUTDOOR WARNING SIREN TEST TODAY

Cobb County’s Outdoor Warning Siren System will be tested today at noon as part of our routine monthly test.

If you hear the sirens, no action is needed. This is only a test.

In the event of severe weather or another emergency, remember that outdoor warning sirens are designed to alert people who are outdoors. Always have multiple ways to receive emergency alerts while indoors.

Woot WOOT! We've been busy over here at Cobb County EMA training up our latest Crisis Coordinators!

We wrapped up the eighth iteration of the Crisis Coordinator series yesterday with a total of 43 new Crisis Coordinators to join the 151 coordinators who have already completed the 10-hour course. For those of you who don't know, the Crisis Coordinator series is five, 2-hour classes which teach our county employees about a variety of topics from how to facilitate evacuating a county building during a fire to properly applying a tourniquet to stop life threatening bleeding.

While it may not seem like a big deal, some of these students have been attending classes as their work schedule allows over the last TWO years. We are so proud of each one of them and their tenacity to complete the program. Please help us welcome them to the Crisis Coordinator family!
