SEVERE WEATHER AWARENESS & EVENT SAFETY

Bulloch County Emergency Management is monitoring the potential for severe weather across our area. Forecast conditions discussed in recent briefings indicate the possibility of tornadoes, thunderstorms with lightning, heavy rainfall, and localized flooding.

These conditions could affect outdoor activities, public gatherings, sporting events, travel, and other community activities throughout the day.

⚠️ What you need to know:
Tornadoes: The potential for severe weather may increase throughout the day. Know where to seek shelter if a warning is issued.

Lightning: Outdoor activities may be interrupted by thunderstorms. Move indoors when thunder is heard and follow event officials’ safety instructions.

Heavy rainfall: Rain may create hazardous driving conditions, water-covered roadways, downed power lines/trees, and localized flooding.

Event safety: Organizers and attendees should be prepared for possible schedule changes, delayed activities, or temporary suspensions based on weather conditions.

✅ Take time now to prepare:
Monitor official National Weather Service forecasts and alerts.
Enable Wireless Emergency Alerts on your mobile phone.
Identify a safe, sturdy shelter before attending outdoor events.
Allow extra travel time and never drive through flooded roadways.
Follow instructions from local officials and event organizers.

Weather conditions can change quickly, and safety decisions may need to be made before storms arrive.

Anyone planning to attend or organize an outdoor event should have a way to receive alerts and a plan for seeking shelter.

Bulloch County Emergency Management will continue monitoring conditions and sharing updates as needed.

Stay weather-aware. Stay prepared. Stay safe.

As Hurricane Isaias approaches landfall in the Gulf, its outer bands will very likely bring some impact here in Southeast Georgia in the form of winds, moderate rain, possible thunderstorms, and even possible pop-up tornadoes. We anticipate the first bands of rain arriving here Friday evening with increasing showers Saturday morning and winds/wind gusts moving through until late Saturday night or early Sunday morning.

County crews will be on standby and ready to respond to trees in roadways or other emergencies.

With a wet and windy weekend approaching, take time now to look around your porch or yard for any loose items that could be blown around and secure them or bring them inside.

If you’re driving this weekend, use caution and keep an eye out for standing water or low areas that flood easily.

Our impact will be much less than our neighbors in the Gulf, but it will still be a time for us to be prepared and stay safe!
