Chairwoman Nicole Love Hendrickson has issued a declaration of local emergency in advance of the major winter storm forecasted by the National Weather Service.

The local declaration, which follows Governor Kemp's statewide declaration yesterday, 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, including brining roads, 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
•Use generators safely outdoors and away from doors and windows
•Make sure you have enough food, water, medications, and pet essentials
•Charge devices and backup power sources
•Protect your pipes from extreme cold by dripping faucets and opening cabinet doors
•Plan to stay off the roads unless necessary
