Civil Emergency Message

Effective: June 26, 2012 6:41PM
Expires: June 27, 2012 10:00AM

Franklin County Emergency Management has issued the following message:

Due to extremely heavy rainfall that occurred with Tropical Storm Debby on Monday - significant river rises are predicted for the New River, Crooked River, and the Carrabelle River in Franklin County.

Moderate to major flooding is anticipated along these rivers. However, because the levels on these rivers are difficult to monitor - Franklin County Board of County Commissioners have issued an evacuation notice for residents living along the New River, Crooked River, and the Carrabelle River.

Residents are encouraged to take all necessary precautions to protect themselves and their property from this potentially dangerous flooding.

If you feel you need help evacuating at this time because you already have flooding issues - call the Franklin County Emergency Management Agency at (850)653-3495.
