As a coastal community and home to the largest port in the southeast, Chatham County is threatened by many types of natural and man-made disasters. Links to resources and preparedness checklists found in this app are meant to help you understand how to protect lives and property in a disaster when seconds count. This app does not replace the user’s responsibility to seek current weather or emergency information. It also does not take the place of 9-1-1 during an emergency.
