With Hurricane Isaias approaching our area, residents are urged to take action now to secure their properties and prepare for potential high winds and heavy rainfall. Don't wait until conditions worsen to take these important precautions!

Before the storm arrives, please take a moment to:
-Secure trash cans: Move trash and recycling carts away from the road and into a secure location to prevent them from blowing into streets or becoming hazards.
-Tie down outdoor equipment: Secure trampolines, grills, patio furniture, and other outdoor items that could be moved by strong winds.
-Clear drainage areas: Remove leaves, debris, and other obstructions from drainage areas on your property to help prevent localized flooding.
-Check your yard: Secure or bring inside loose decorations, toys, and other items that could become airborne.
-Prepare for possible power outages: Charge electronic devices, gather flashlights, and keep essential supplies readily available.
-Stay informed: Monitor local weather reports and follow Decatur County EMA for emergency alerts and updates.

Taking these precautions now can help reduce property damage, keep roadways clear, and protect our neighbors and City crews during and after the storm.
