It’s Not Always Fun in the Sun:
Get Ready for
Summer Threats
Special to the Ledger
Summer in Georgia is cer
tainly here. Temperatures are
high, kids are out of school
and many are planning to
enjoy some well-deserved
vacation time. But it isn’t
always fun in the sun. Ac
cording to the Georgia Emer
gency Management Agency’s
Ready Georgia campaign,
Georgia’s warmer months
also bring hazards that can
be avoided if citizens are
well-prepared.
Each year heat causes
about 400 deaths across
the nation according to the
Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention. Add to that
the 300 deaths a year caused
by lightning, 140 from flood
ing and thousands of others
caused by severe storms, fire
and hurricanes, and you can
see that summer poses some
real threats.
Ready Georgia wants you
and your family to be ready
for these unexpected emer
gencies. So, before you pack
your beach bag, make sure to
pack your Ready kit. Prepar
ing a Ready kit of emergency
supplies, discussing an emer
gency family plan and stay
ing informed about how to
react to certain emergencies
can help mitigate the effects
of any summer disaster.
Follow these tips to help
you and your family have a
safe summer.
Drought
Make a plan to conserve
waterin your household.
Have enough bottled water
in your Ready kit—one gal
lon per person for three days.
Know your local water-
restrictions and follow direc
tion of water authorities.
Floods and Flash Floods
Develop an evacuation
plan thatmoves you to higher
ground away from bodies of
waters.
Consider moving valuables
to higherfloors and talk to
your insurance provider
about your policy to see if
itcovers flood damage.
Know your area’s flood risk
andstay out of flood waters
as much as possible.
Fire
Review and practice esca-
peplans from your home.
Place smoke alarms in
everyroom of your house
and make sure they all work
properly.
Know to stay low if a fire
breaks out and listen to fire
officials upon their arrival.
Severe Storms
• Remove dead or rotting
trees and branches that could
fall and cause injury or dam
age during a severe storm.
• Postpone outdoor activi
ties in the event of a severe
storm and plan to take shel
ter in case of heavy winds or
lightning.
• Understand the difference
between a severe thunder
storm watch and a severe
thunderstorm warning.
• A thunderstorm watch
means there is a possibility
of a thunderstorm in your
area.
• A thunderstorm warning
means a thunderstorm is oc
curring or will likely occur
soon. If you are advised to
take shelter, do so immedi
ately.
Extreme Heat
• Plan to stay indoors and
drink plenty of water during
extreme heat conditions.
• Prepare your home by
keeping it well-insulated and
windows shaded.
• Learn about the types of
medical conditions (like heat
exhaustion and heat stroke)
that can result from heat
waves and the proper first
aid measures that should be
taken.
Hurricanes
Plan an evacuation plan
out ofyour neighborhood
and identify a place to take
shelter.
Prepare a Ready kit
ofemergency supplies in case
you lose electricity or have to
evacuate.
Follow instructions of
emergencyofficials, and
know the difference between
a hurricane watch and ahur-
ricane warning.
A hurricane watch means
ahurricane is possible in
your area.
A hurricane warning
means ahurricane is expect
ed in your area.

Fired by one but
supported by many
The day I was fired by Sondra Cook,
the clerk appointed by one person
rather than elected by the people of
Lee County, was devastating to me
and my family. However, the support
I have received from the citizens of
this county—many I have known for
years and the many more I have met
since that day—has made me confi
dent in my decision to run for Clerk of
Superior Court. I sincerely appreciate
all the support and encouragement I
have received.
As the days are closing in on the
election, I want to express my thanks
and gratitude to all my supporters
who have given so much to me in so
many ways. While Sondra Cook may
have fired me from my position in the
Clerk’s office, I am fortunate enough
to be serving Lee County in my cur
rent position in the Tax Assessors
office. Though I enjoy serving the Lee
County in my new position, I hope to
soon be serving all of you in a greater
capacity in the coming year, as the
Clerk of Superior Court. You can
make that possible by voting in the
Republican Primary on July 15th.
I have been blessed to have met so
many citizens of this county through
my campaigning. Lee County, how
ever, is very large and unfortunately,
this has made it impossible for me
to visit every voter. I only have a
few weeks left, but I will continue to
work hard to meet as many of you
as I can before the election on July
15th. If I haven’t had to opportunity
to meet you personally, please feel
free to contact me with any ques
tions or suggestions at
clarl604@gmail.com or by
phone: 436-6635 (home)
395-8823 (cell).
I have the experience, de
termination, and confidence
to be your next Clerk of Su
perior Court, and with your support,
we can make it happen on July 15th.
Go to the polls for early voting
starting July 7th through July 11th or
on July 15th and vote for Sara Reeves
CLARK for CLERK, and put some
one who truly cares about the citizens
of Lee County back into the Superior
Court Clerks’ office.
I may have been fired by one, but I
have been supported by many. I thank
you all for your support, and I assure
you I will live up to your expecta
tions. All I ask now is for your help
by going to the polls and voicing your
opinion on July 15th.
Thank you,
Sara Reeves Clark
