Long County hurricane guide¶

The Long County Emergency Management Agency (EMA) in Ludowici works with the Long County Fire Department. Long County is inland from the coast but is on the Georgia Coastal Health District hurricane registry. The county offers a storm response dashboard and a storm surge map built on NOAA SLOSH data, and says to check the National Hurricane Center, National Weather Service, and local emergency management for evacuation instructions.
