The Camden County Emergency Management Agency (EMA) is closely monitoring the evolving path of Idalia and its potential impact on Camden County. We urge all residents to stay informed by regularly checking for updates from the Camden County EMA. For the latest information, including emergency declarations, evacuation notices, closures, and public notices, please visit www.CamdenCountyGa.gov/CivicAlerts.aspx?AID=1749.
County Issues State of Emergency and Island Evacuation (As of August 29, 2023) - Chairman Ben Casey signed a State of Emergency for Camden County. Additionally, an evacuation has been ordered for Zone A, which consists of Cumberland Island and Little Cumberland Island. Earlier this year the Camden County Board of Commissioners approved new hurricane evacuation zones for Camden County. The county now features four zones to better reflect risk and evacuation management. Camden County residents, regardless of zone, should strongly consider voluntary evacuation in low lying areas. Locations that have flooded in the past are likely to flood during this tropical event. Residents in manufactured housing should consider relocating to a stronger structure.
