SAVANNAH, Ga. () — The Chatham County Health Department (CCHD) will host an Emergency and Hurricane Preparedness Event on Friday, May 30.

A complimentary event is scheduled from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at the green area located behind the health department at 1395 Eisenhower Drive, Savannah. The event is open for everyone to attend.

Various organizations, including the Chatham Emergency Management Agency (CEMA), Healthy Savannah, GROW Initiative GA, the Red Cross, and Safe Kids Savannah, will be present to share valuable information.

This gathering will focus on crucial emergency preparedness tips, featuring details about the Coastal Health District’s Hurricane Registry. The Registry includes homebound residents of coastal Georgia who require assistance evacuating due to certain medical or functional limitations, and who lack alternative means of transportation.

“Preparedness is key to staying safe during a hurricane, especially for our most vulnerable residents,” said Dr. Chris Rustin, Director of the Chatham County Health Department. “This event is a great opportunity for the community to learn about local resources, get connected, and make sure everyone has a plan, including those who may need extra help evacuating.”

Individuals must apply in advance to be on the Hurricane Registry and receive evacuation assistance.

In addition to information on the Hurricane Registry, there will be:

  • Door prizes for the first 100 attendees
  • Raffle prizes
  • Emergency kit demonstrations
  • Evacuation plan guides
  • Local resource directories
  • Information booths
