If you see flooding, take precaution and turn around.

Attention Glynn County Residents!
There is a shelter for all those in need who may find themselves in dangerous low lying areas of our city and those who have no shelter during this time.
We have worked diligently to secure this shelter with the Georgia Red Cross. We are thankful for their partnership during this time. Shelter Location: 2900 Albany St. Brunswick, GA 31520.
We will also work to alert the entire community to street closures as we continue to work with police, fire, and EMS to communicate changing routes throughout the City.
Stay prepared and stay safe as we continue to do all we can to ensure the safety of our citizens.
Storm continues to move in a more eastern track

We are currently still under Tropical Storm Warning and Storm Surge Warning.
Rainfall forecast has decreased, expecting 2 to 4 inches
Wind is still moderate, there have been gusts of 55mph and expected to maintain at that level but could reach 60-70 mph as storm moves closer.
Storm surge is still a concern with offshore winds

This morning the Chamber partnered with Chick-fil-A Brunswick and Chick-fil-A Saint Simons to host a sold out Business Education Series Seminar on Customer Service. The seminar was facilitated by two amazing representatives from the Chick-fil-A corporate team, Dan Roberts and Dawn Atkins-McDonald.
Attendees were treated to breakfast and engaged in a thoughtful discussion on the SERVE Model of Leadership for developing self and others.
We would like to thank Sara Black who serves on the Chamber's Board of Directors and is also Owner and Operator of the Chick-fil-A in Brunswick, for assisting us in planning this program.
