New to the area? Download a copy of the University of Georgia’s Resident’s Handbook to Prepare for Natural Disasters in Georgia. Be aware that many local creeks and rivers are tidal, that we get two cycles of high and low tides each day, and that the time for each of those high and low tides changes daily. Check out the helpful app and website TidesNearMe. Rainfall amounts are on top of whatever the tide is at a given time.

Health departments close

All clinics and offices of the Coastal Health District will close at noon on Monday, Aug. 5, and we expect to re-open at 8:00 a.m. on Thursday, Aug. 8.
