Commerce Rescue

Big news again for Jackson County Emergency Services-
Our West Jackson station is now stocked and carrying blood products! This is done to minimize the time to get whole blood and plasma to the scene in this area. Time is muscle and we are now ensuring the residents of this area can get life saving equipment to them in a timely manner before transportation to definitive care. Thank you to our Commissioners, County Manager, EMS Management, and citizens for continuing to put your trust in us!

[Update] 11 AM Tuesday: Confidence is growing for a strong overnight system to produce severe weather over Georgia. An Enhanced Risk (level 3 of 5) has been expanded to include a larger area, including portions of the Atlanta metro, Columbus and Macon. A Slight Risk (level 2 of 5) continues for the remainder of north and central Georgia. Damaging winds, isolated tornadoes, hail up to one inch or more, and frequent lightning will be the primary threats. Stronger storms may also produce locally heavy rain. Although storms could move into northwest Georgia as early as 6 PM, the highest threat will be after 9 PM tonight, continuing overnight through sunrise Wednesday.
