Dont forget about your pets. Ensure they are safe and have the essentials. Always stay prepared

🌪️ HURRICANE PREPAREDNESS — BE READY NOW

With the potential for a hurricane or tropical storm to impact our area, now is the time to prepare—not when the storm is at our doorstep.

Here are a few things every Holmes County resident should do:

✅ Stay informed — Monitor trusted weather sources and official updates from Holmes County Emergency Management and local officials.

⛽ Fuel up — Make sure your vehicles and generators have fuel before conditions deteriorate.

💧 Stock up — Have plenty of water, food, medications, batteries, flashlights, and other essential supplies on hand.

📱 Charge your devices — Keep cell phones, power banks, and other important devices fully charged.

🏠 Secure your property — Bring in outdoor furniture, decorations, grills, and anything else that could become a projectile in strong winds.

🌳 Check your surroundings — Clear loose limbs and debris around your home if it is safe to do so.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Have a family plan — Know where you will go and how you will communicate if conditions worsen or evacuation becomes necessary.

🐶 Don’t forget your pets — Make sure they have food, water, medications, and a safe place to stay.

⚠️ Don’t wait until the last minute. Supplies can become difficult to find and roads can become dangerous as a storm approaches.

The Holmes County Sheriff’s Office, Emergency Management, EMS, Fire Rescue, and our county and city partners are preparing and monitoring the situation closely.

Prepare now. Stay informed. Stay safe. 🇺🇸
