WHEN EMERGENCY SITUATIONS OCCUR: STAY INFORMED!

 

Know How Brunswick’s Flood Warning System Works

In the event of a major storm, the City receives notification from the Brunswick-Glynn County Emergency Management Agency and certain City departments are put on alert.  Local news media sources (radio and television) are notified and distribute information to the public.  If needed, the City Fire and Police Departments may notify area residents by door-to-door personal contact, telephone, and use of sirens and public address systems.  During significant storms, the City Police and Fire Departments monitor storm updates and pass information on to media sources for distribution.
