Washington County, Fl Emergency Management Office For Immediate Release 09.15.2020

Story by: BOCC Staff

From the Washington County, Florida Emergency Management Office for Immediate Release:

As of Tuesday, September 15, 2020 at 12PM Washington County is under a Tropical Storm Warning, a Tornado Watch, a Flash Flood Watch, and River Flooding is expected.

The biggest impact will be the heavy rains occurring over the next 24 hours. We urge residents and those with interests along the Choctawhatchee River, Holmes Creek, and low-lying areas to monitor local media outlets for the latest information on Hurricane Sally.

Final preparations to protect life and property need to be made. Roads will likely be impacted by heavy rains and rising waters that could leave some residents stranded. In some cases, emergency vehicles may not have access. Decisions about evacuations or sheltering in place should be made now.

Sandbags and tarps can be purchased at most hardware stores. The Washington County Emergency Management office staff can provide more information to residents about sandbags and tarps if they will call 638-6203, Monday-Friday from 8AM-4PM.
