    CEMA has demobilized the Emergency Operation Center and returned to OPCON 5, which is considered normal operations during hurricane season. The threat from #Florence has significantly decreased for #ChathamCounty, which warrants the return to normal operations.

    Dorian is now a category 5 hurricane. The track is consistent and Chatham remains in the error cone. We could see impacts mid to late this week including heavy rain, strong winds, and coastal flooding. Prepare now by updating your emergency plans and ensuring your kit is stocked.

    CEMA has entered OP Con 3, the mobilization phase. We'll continue to monitor #Florence and any impacts it may bring. We could be impacted by tropical storm conditions within the next 48 hours. Most likely impacts will include tropical storm force winds and rainfall.

    Dorian is still a category 5 hurricane. The storm's speed has slowed again. Chatham remains in the cone and wecould see potential impacts of strong winds, heavy rains, and coastal flooding in our area mid to late this week. Take time now to finalize your preparedness efforts.

    Dorian is now a category 4 hurricane; it sped up overnight and gained strength. The track has also changed considerably and models are less confident in a Florida landfall. Chatham remains in the error cone and could see impacts mid to late next week. Now is the time to prepare.
