She told the club what the vision of the EMA Glynn County Emergency Management & Homeland Security Agency utilizes actionable situational awareness and intelligence throughout the five principles of the disaster phase cycle to prevent and reduce the harmful effects of natural disasters, acts of terrorism, and/or man-made disasters. What the mission of the EMA Glynn County Emergency Management & Homeland Security Agency is dedicated to support the community with an all-hazard approach to prevention, preparedness, response, mitigation, and recovery, thereby helping citizens prepare for, respond to, recover from, and mitigate the impacts of disasters. She informed the club about hurricane preparedness, Glynn County, Georgia Hurricane Safety & Evacuation Procedures
Known as "The Greatest Storm on Earth", the hurricane carries with it three highly destructive elements: storm surge, flooding and wind. The grave dangers created by these forces can be greatly reduced and need not result in death if you are prepared to meet the threat they pose to your safety.
