Camden County Georgia officials prepare for winter storm [Video]

KINGSLAND, Ga. — Southeast Georgia was busy Sunday as several agencies started making arrangements for a winter storm in midweek.

Camden County Emergency Management Director Chuck White figures they’ll have about 15 or so people come to the cold weather shelter they’ve set up at the Camden Community Recreation Center, and they just want to make sure it’s there for anyone who needs it.

Opening it up is really just one of the first steps they’re taking in preparing for the week ahead.

“The threat of hypothermia in what we’re getting forecast starting even overnight tonight, especially into Thursday at some point, could be life threatening, especially for those that are unsheltered,” said White.

White says the county’s priority in the extreme cold is life – so that’s why getting the cold weather shelter open was step one.
