Good Morning Georgia: Start Your Day The Georgia Way

30/09/2024

Good Morning Georgia viewers!

As we start this Monday, many of us are facing challenges we didn’t expect, from the aftermath of Hurricane Helene to the concerns about chemical exposure in Rockdale County. It’s been a tough time for so many in our community, but I want to remind you of something powerful from Marketing with a Human Touch: Connecting in a Digital World. The book teaches us that true strength lies in how we respond to difficult times—not just with fear, but with connection and resilience.

Today, let’s focus on rebuilding together. Whether it’s helping a neighbor clean up after the storm or offering a word of comfort to someone who’s worried, we can find strength in unity. It’s okay to feel uncertain, but let’s turn that uncertainty into action, care, and support for one another. We can’t always control the storms around us, but we can control how we show up for each other.

Remember, Georgia, no matter what we face, we face it as a community—stronger together. Let’s make the most of this Monday by rebuilding, staying informed, and lifting each other up as we move forward.

Stay safe, stay connected, and stay hopeful. We’ve got this!

Good Morning Georgia!

Happy Thursday! As we gear up for the day ahead, there’s a bit of a storm brewing on the horizon. While we stay safe and prepare for the weather, let’s not forget a vital lesson from Marketing with a Human Touch: Connecting in a Digital World: (amazon.com/dp/1965261876) the importance of adapting to changing conditions. Just as marketers must adapt their strategies to meet the ever-changing needs of their audiences, we too can adjust our plans to stay safe and productive despite the storms.

Today, take a moment to reach out to your neighbors or friends, especially those who might need extra help during the storm. A quick check-in call or a message can make a big difference—showing that we're not just individuals, but a connected community looking out for each other.

Make the most of this Thursday by staying safe, being prepared, and keeping those human connections strong, even from a distance. Together, we can weather any storm!

Stay dry and stay safe, Georgia!

https://www.youtube.com/ - Gov. Brian Kemp has declared a state of emergency in preparation for Tropical Storm Helene, Georgia Emergency Management and Homeland Security Agency Director Chris Stallings announced on Tuesday.

Tropical Storm Helene, currently intensifying in the Caribbean, is expected to strengthen into a Category 3 hurricane with winds exceeding 111 mph before striking Florida on Thursday evening. While the storm will lose some intensity by the time it moves into Georgia, severe weather—including heavy rain and potentially damaging winds—is still expected across the state, according to the National Weather Service.

"Our thoughts and prayers are with those along the coast," Stallings said. "We are mindful of those evacuating and want them to know they are welcome in Georgia."

Every county in Georgia is anticipated to be affected, Stallings emphasized in Tuesday's press conference. GEMA is working closely with local governments to ensure resources are readily available wherever needed.

“We’ve pre-positioned response teams and equipment to swiftly handle emergencies as they occur,” Stallings added.
