Sandy Springs recently launched an emergency preparedness dashboard to provide residents with the latest information during an emergency or public health crisis.

The Community Emergency Awareness Dashboard provides real-time status updates of severe weather alerts, power outages, and COVID-19 information.

All data is directly linked to primary sources for the most current and accurate information. For example, COVID-19 updates are provided by the Georgia Department of Public Health, GEMA is the source for weather warnings, and Georgia Power provides updates on outages.
