Savannah, Georgia, is buzzing with activity as residents prepare for the impending arrival of Tropical Storm Helene. With reports confirming the storm’s movement toward the Coastal Empire, local agencies are stepping up their efforts to ensure that everyone is ready to face potential impacts.
The Chatham County Emergency Management Agency (CEMA) is at the forefront of the preparations, stressing the importance of taking proactive measures. They’re urging everyone to get organized before bedtime tonight, especially as Helene continues to shift closer to our shores overnight.
If you’re wondering how to prepare, CEMA has outlined some essential steps you can take this evening. Here’s what they suggest:
As we all know, weather conditions can change rapidly, especially during hurricane season. By preparing now, you not only help safeguard your home and family, but you also contribute to the overall safety of the community. When one person prepares, they are helping to mitigate the strain on emergency services in the event of significant weather impacts.
Helene may bring some heavy rains and increased wind speeds, which could lead to isolated flooding and downed trees. It is essential to stay vigilant as the storm approaches. Remember, even if it seems calm, wait for official announcements before venturing outdoors after the storm passes, as conditions can still be dangerous.
As we approach tonight, let’s all commit to doing our part in ensuring the safety of everyone in Savannah. Gather your supplies, check in with your neighbors, and prepare to bear with whatever Helene may bring. Remember, the best way to weather a storm is by being ready! Let’s keep each other safe and informed.
For ongoing updates from CEMA, stay in touch with community resources and local forecasts. We are all in this together, Savannah!
