Camden County and the Cities of Kingsland, St. Marys, and Woodbine are better prepared for disasters with the recent approval of the Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan. As a long-term strategy to reduce the community’s vulnerability to natural disasters, the plan identifies hazards and potential hazards in Camden County and creates a framework to help community officials make decisions that may ultimately protect lives and property.  

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) reviews and approves state, tribal and local hazard mitigation plans, which are required as a condition for states and communities to receive certain types of disaster assistance, including funding for mitigation projects. State mitigation plans must be approved every five years, and local and tribal mitigation plans must be approved at least once every five years.

The Camden County Health Department will hold three walk-in clinics this week offering the single-dose COVID-19 vaccine by Johnson & Johnson. The vaccine will be offered at the Health Department at 905 Dilworth Street in St. Marys on the following days and times:

There is no cost for the vaccine, and you do not need an appointment. The Janssen vaccine by Johnson & Johnson is authorized for adults 18 and older and does not require a second dose.

Anyone in need of transportation to the clinic can schedule a ride at no cost by calling 866-543-6744.
