Crisp County is now under a Declared State of Emergency. A local state of emergency declaration serves several important purposes. It triggers emergency powers, activates local emergency plans, and allows for mutual aid assistance. It also enables officials to impose safety measures like evacuations and curfews. Additionally, it is often required to receive state and federal aid for emergency-related expenses.
