Due to the potential for severe weather associated with Hurricane Milton, all Camden and Glynn County clinics and offices will be closed on Thursday, October 10. Anyone with an appointment previously scheduled during the closure will be contacted to reschedule. Both counties are expected to reopen on Friday, October 11 at the regularly scheduled times.
The Coastal Health District urges residents to be prepared as Hurricane Milton approaches. They should:
- Have a three-day supply of non-perishable foods.
- Have one gallon of water per person per day.
- Have a three-day supply of prescription medications.
- Turn the refrigerator to the coldest setting.
- Charge phones and electronics.
Hurricane Milton is expected to bring tropical storm-force winds, significant rainfall with potential coastal flooding, storm surge, flash flooding, and rip currents. Flooding of coastal streets and roadways is also possible. Just six inches of moving water can knock a person down, and one foot of moving water can sweep a vehicle away. We urge everyone to “Turn Around. Don’t Drown.” Learn more about flood safety at ready.gov/floods.

The official Georgia Hurricane Guide is also available online with great information about hurricanes and emergency preparedness.
