💙💚 Washington County Seniors, We Need to Hear From You!

Are you still without power following Hurricane Isaias? PLEASE LET US KNOW!

We are working to identify older adults in our community who are still experiencing power outages so we can help connect them with available resources and assistance.

💧 Drinking water and shelf-stable meals are available for seniors who need them. You are also welcome to stop by WCCOA to cool off, charge your phones, enjoy some company, or simply take a break!

We want to extend a special thank you to Florida Power & Light (FPL) for proactively reaching out to our office and working with us to identify seniors who are still without electricity. We appreciate their partnership and commitment to our community!

📞 Please call WCCOA at 850-638-6216 or 850-638-6217.

❤️ Friends, family, and neighbors, WE NEED YOUR HELP TOO! If you know an older adult who is still without power, please let us know. They may have no way to charge their phone or contact us themselves.

Even if everyone is safe and doing okay, we still need to know who is without electricity so we can better understand the needs throughout our community.

Thank you! 💙💚

Our pavilion area took a hit, and it’s hard to see damage to a place where so many happy memories have been made. But we have so much to be thankful for, especially the safety of our friends and families and a fully functioning main building ready to welcome you. 💙💚

WCCOA WILL BE OPEN tomorrow, Sunday, October 11, from 10 AM to 2 PM!

Come enjoy a meal, cool down, charge your phone and spend time with friends. We’ll have cards and other games available, or you can settle into a recliner, rest, relax and recharge yourself, too.

If the need is there, we will remain open longer. We want our friends to have a comfortable place to be.

You do not have to be a current WCCOA client to join us, and you’re welcome even if your power is already back on. We would love to see you!

We know being without power is difficult. We’re thankful for the crews working hard to restore it and for everyone who helped get WCCOA back up and running today. Your efforts mean we can open our doors and care for our community tomorrow.

🧩 Activities, fellowship and a friendly place to spend some time

⚡ POWER OUTAGE SAFETY REMINDER ⚡

Washington County residents without power are encouraged to take precautions to help protect their homes and electrical equipment when electricity is restored.

🔌 If it is safe to do so and you know how to operate your electrical panel, turn OFF your home's main breaker while power is out. Keep it off until utility power has been restored, then turn it back on only if your electrical system is dry and undamaged.

⚠️ IMPORTANT: Never touch an electrical panel if it is wet, damaged, or surrounded by standing water. Contact a qualified electrician or your utility provider for assistance.

Unplug sensitive electronics and appliances when safe to do so, as power restoration can cause electrical surges.

Stay safe, Washington County!

🚧🌪️ WASHINGTON COUNTY — POST-HURRICANE ROADWAY SAFETY ALERT

Even after Hurricane Isaias has passed, dangerous conditions may remain on our roads! 🌧️🚨

Washington County Emergency Management urges all residents to use extreme caution when traveling. Downed trees, damaged power lines, flooded roadways, scattered debris, malfunctioning traffic signals, and weakened roads or bridges can create life-threatening hazards.

⚠️ PLEASE REMEMBER:
🚫 Never drive through floodwater — Turn Around, Don’t Drown!
🌳 Stay away from downed power lines and report them to the proper authorities.
🚧 Never move barricades or drive around road closures.
🚗 Slow down, increase following distance, and watch for unexpected hazards.
🚒 Give first responders, road crews, and utility workers plenty of room to work.
💡 Use your headlights when visibility is reduced.

📢 Avoid unnecessary travel until roadways have been assessed and hazards cleared. If you encounter dangerous conditions, report them to the appropriate authorities.

📞 Call 911 for emergencies, including immediate threats to life or serious roadway hazards requiring an urgent response.

Please share this message with your family, friends, and neighbors. A little extra caution can save a life!

Be Alert. Be Cautious. Stay Safe.
