Believe this is going to a church around the effected areas so it won't be taken away by some organizations up there.

Update: We will be extending the deadline for donations for the Hurricane victims to Wednesday night. All donations will be stored in the Youth building. We are so thankful for the outpouring of support. Pine Grove Baptist Church will be coming to pick up all donations on Thursday.

——————————————————-

♨️SMOKE ALARMS SAVE LIVES♨️
Smoke alarms with non-replaceable 10-year batteries are designed to remain effective for up to 10 years. If the alarm chirps, warning that the battery is low, replace the entire smoke alarm right away.
Smoke alarms with any other type of battery need a new battery at least once a year. If that alarm chirps, warning the battery is low, replace the battery right away.

Yesterday morning Polk County had severe storms start through our area and we continued to recieve multiple rounds of bad storms throughout the day and night.
Most of which resulted in downed trees, downed power poles and lines, trees on houses, trees across roads, lightning strikes to house that needed to be checked, flooding and auto accidents.
I have to say that Polk County 911 and Polk Ema staff done a phenomenal job in handling and dispatching the many calls to all the specific departments that needed to respond.
Thanks to all the personnel of Polk County Volunteer Fire, Cedartown Fire and Rockmart Fire and all local Police departments who did a fantastic job of answering and handling multiple calls at one time to get everyone taken care of.
Also a big thanks to GA power and their crews and to Polk County Road department for all their help.

Continued prayers for all those affected by the storms and a big thank to all of those who was there to help our community through a very stormy day.
Together we are Polk Strong.

EMA Director
