Bulloch County hurricane guide

Bulloch County Emergency Management, part of the county Public Safety Department, coordinates emergency planning and runs the emergency operations center for the county and all of its cities. Bulloch is inland around Statesboro, so the county's own pages focus on general preparedness, heat, and family plans rather than evacuation zones. The county's Emergency Management, 911, EMS, and fire departments are open every day, around the clock.

Evacuation centers

Open only when announced

Evacuation centers open only when officials announce them, and not every center opens for every storm. Check the official list of open centers before you leave home. Bring your own bedding, food, water, and medicines.

Bulloch County's emergency management page does not publish a shelter list or hurricane evacuation guidance. If a storm threatens, follow the county's Everbridge alerts and local news for shelter and evacuation information, and do not go to any site until it is announced.

Cities and towns

Each city has its own services and some have their own alerts. The county's evacuation zones, evacuation centers, and emergency alerts cover everyone, in every city and in unincorporated areas.
