"We are asking the citizens that live along the river if they are going to stay to move their cars to higher ground," said Crista Beasley-Adams of Liberty County OEM. "Boat in and out like they normally do. Make sure they have food, water, pet supplies, medications, etc."
Beasley-Adams say residents should only boat during the daylight hours to make sure responder can reach them in an emergency.
