An agency official at the Emergency Operations Center urged St. Johns County residents to prepare their homes and family plans in advance of possible emergencies, saying proactive steps reduce stress and keep households safer. The official emphasized not waiting until the last minute and discouraged panicking as events unfold.
The official listed concrete actions for residents: inspect your home to make sure it is ready, collect family members and follow your plan if evacuation becomes necessary, and use county resources for help. "The more prepared we are, the less stress and the safer we keep our family," the agency official said. Residents were directed to the EOC website and to call the EOC phone line for assistance and information; the official said staff at the EOC would help callers with questions or concerns.
The announcement was framed as general preparedness guidance rather than a declaration of an active evacuation or emergency; no formal orders or votes were issued during the remarks. The EOC contact points were presented as the primary route for additional information and support.
