NCHD Locations Closed in Response to Hurricane Michael

Posted October 10, 2018 by Michael Hokanson

All NCHD locations across the district will close Wed., Oct. 10 at 2 p.m. and remain closed through Thursday. As severe weather approaches, NCHD offices will be closed for the safety of both clients and staff as the storm moves toward Central Georgia. Regular hours are expected to resume Friday, Oct. 12, but any changes will be announce on our website and social media.

NCHD encourages all residents to prepare for Hurricane Michael as it approaches Georgia:

• Have a communication plan in place – include one contact that will not be in the storm.
• Have supplies for each family member – find a checklist at NCHD52.org/prepare.
• Have a way to receive emergency updates – listen to local media and officials, use a NOAA radio or install a phone app that provides updates.
• Secure all outdoor items that may be blow away by severe winds.
• Evacuate if directed by authorities – follow instructions to ensure safety.
• Prepare to shelter in place if directed – find a safe room in your home away from windows and doors; make sure to bring you emergency supplies.
