Hurricane #Helene is expected to be a large storm & that may cause a loss of power. If you lose power & choose to use a generator, make sure you use it safely! Carbon monoxide can kill, so remember: 20ft away, 20 min. to cool & $20 carbon monoxide alarm.

This morning we are thinking about our neighboring communities to the east and everyone in the path of Hurricane Helene. No damages have been reported in Bay County. Now, we turn our focus to mobilizing strike teams to head east. We are ready to help.
