What to do
Take the necessary actions to protect flood-prone property. If you must travel, do not drive around barricades or through water of unknown depth. The National Weather Service notes that 6 inches of moving water can knock you down, and 1 foot can sweep a vehicle away.
Inexperienced swimmers should stay out of the water because of dangerous surf. If you do swim, stay near a lifeguard.
If caught in a rip current, relax and float. Do not swim against the current. If you can, swim along the shoreline. If you cannot escape, face the shore and call or wave for help.
Context
FEMA flood-insurance records show 847 claims in Nassau County, Florida, 1,997 in Glynn County, Georgia, and 351 in Camden County, Georgia. These counts cover only insured properties, so they understate total flood losses. Records run back to 1978 or 1979.
All three counties were included in FEMA disaster declarations for hurricanes in recent years, including Hurricane Helene in September 2024. This shows that storm-driven flooding has affected the area before.
