Georgia Governor Kemp declares State of Emergency for all 159 counties due to Tropical Storm Debby, anticipating potential flooding and power disruptions.
Georgia Governor Brian Kemp declared a State of Emergency, effective for all 159 counties, due to the approaching Tropical Storm Debby, which is forecast to make landfall in Florida before moving into Georgia. The storm is expected to bring tropical storm-force winds to South Georgia, causing potential downed trees and power lines, and increasing the risk of significant flooding in Southeast Georgia from Monday through Tuesday. The State of Emergency enables the release of emergency funds for affected areas and mobilizes agencies to assist with clean-up efforts.
