Everyone stay safe during this storm!

UPDATE: SHELTERING:
Lowndes County Emergency Management has worked with Park Avenue Church, Corinth Baptist Church, and Valdosta State University to provide a safe location for those individuals living in mobile homes or substandard housing who need a location to provide shelter during the storm. These shelters are being provided as a short-term, safe place to shelter from wind. Those seeking shelter should bring supplies such as medicine, diapers, bedding, food, water and any other comfort supplies that might help pass the time.

Park Avenue Church
Shelter will open sometime Thursday morning, September 26, 2024, and will remain open until Tropical Storm conditions subside. Official shelter opening time will be announced as we continue to monitor the storm.
Individuals coming to the shelter should park in parking lot A, which is on the corner of East Park Avenue and Patterson Street. The shelter entrance will be through the double doors facing Patterson Street.
This shelter is available for individuals who have medical equipment requiring electricity, such as oxygen concentrators.

Corinth Baptist Church
Shelter will open on Thursday, September 26, at 4 p.m. Corinth Baptist Church is located at 4089 Corinth Road, Lake Park, Georgia 31636

Valdosta State University Continuing Education Building
Shelter will open on Thursday, September 26, at 2 pm. The VSU Continuing Education building is located at 903 North Patterson Street, Valdosta, Georgia.
This shelter will be pet-friendly. Residents with animals needing shelter must bring a crate, food, leash, bottled water, and medications. Owners must provide a rabies vaccination certificate and a proof of distemper parvo/feline distemper vaccine. Pets will not be allowed outside of crates in general shelter areas.

Lowndes County Emergency Management is partnering with Park Avenue Church (formerly Park Avenue United Methodist Church) at 100 E Park Ave Valdosta, GA 31602, to open a shelter for residents who do not have adequate shelter or who are dependent upon electricity for life-sustaining medical devices, such as oxygen concentrators.

Update: Corinth Baptist Church, 4089 Corinth Road, Lake Park, Georgia 31636, will also be a storm shelter location beginning on Thursday, September 26, at 4 p.m.

These will not be long-term shelters, and little to no amenities will be provided. This is simply a safe location to seek shelter from the storm.
