SITUATION OVERVIEW
------------------

Hurricane Isaias has made landfall over the northwest Florida
panhandle as a dangerous category 2 hurricane this evening. Hurricane
Isaias will continue to move inland and rapidly weaken overnight
tonight and Saturday morning. Winds have started to decrease across
our region as the storm continues downstream. Because of this we have
cancelled all Hurricane and Tropical Storm Watches and warnings. There
could still be some minor coastal flooding up to 3 feet, especially
along the Mississippi Gulf Coast. The Storm Surge Warning has been
replaced with a Coastal Flood Advisory through the next tide cycle
early Saturday morning.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS
----------------------------------

* EVACUATIONS:
Follow the advice of local officials.


* OTHER PREPAREDNESS INFORMATION:

Check in with your emergency points of contact. Let them know your 
location and status. Keep conversations short and to the point. Do 
not tie up communications systems.

Check on your neighbors. If necessary, help them connect with their 
points of contact.

Do not go sightseeing within impacted communities. Sightseers 
interfere with the emergency work of first responders.

When inspecting damage, use flashlights rather than candles or flamed 
lanterns. Be aware of sparks that can ignite natural gas or other 
leaking flammables.

Do not go up on your roof until the weather conditions are safe. 
Ladders can be slippery in the rain and unexpected wind gusts can 
blow you off the roof.

When clearing out fallen trees, be careful with chainsaws and axes. 
Always wear protective gear and keep others at a safe distance. 
Leaning trees and those which have fallen on roofs or power lines can 
be especially dangerous. If you are not in good health or unsure 
about what you are doing, have someone with tree cutting experience 
do the job. Never cut trees without a partner.

If using a generator, avoid carbon monoxide poisoning by following 
instructions provided by the manufacturer. Operate your generator in 
a well-ventilated space outside of your living area and away from 
open doors and windows.
