Good reminder 😀

Watch vs Warning

👀WATCH means conditions are favorable for a weather event that could have a big impact on our area.

What you should do: Make sure you're signed up for emergency alerts, check the weather before traveling or doing outdoor activities, and be prepared for the possibility of the weather occurring if there are things you can do ahead of time, like cleaning out gutters before a major rain or bringing in patio furniture before heavy winds.

🚨WARNING means the weather is either highly likely or already happening, and you should take action.

What you should do: Pay attention to news and weather alerts, and make sure your household is prepared to take action to protect yourselves.

Go CCSO SAR!

The article, which highlights efforts made by Becky, Scott, and their canine partners R***r and Jett, shows them as the community heroes they are and details their experiences and how search and rescue can make a difference in the communities they serve.
Thank you again Becky and Scott for your dedication, teamwork, and for representing Columbia County with such compassion and professionalism. We’re proud beyond measure to call you ours!
