Everyone stay safe!
Ahead of the impacts the National Weather Service is forecasting from Hurricane Isaias, Chairwoman Nicole Love Hendrickson has issued a declaration of local emergency.
The local declaration, which follows Governor Kemp's statewide declaration, activates certain emergency powers under the Gwinnett County Emergency Management Ordinance. The declaration allows for the use of all available County resources to address the storm’s impact.
The Gwinnett County Office of Emergency Management continues to monitor forecasts and coordinate with departments to prepare for the storm’s impact, including checking generators at County facilities and making plans to ensure 24/7 staffing in critical areas throughout the event.
Residents are encouraged to prepare their homes and families:
• Keep flashlights and batteries on hand
• Make sure you have enough food, water, medications, and pet essentials
• Charge devices and backup power sources
• Never touch downed power lines
• Never drive through flooded roadways
• Charge cellphones, electronic devices, and backup power sources ahead of the storm
