Cobb County Keeping Citizenry Informed

Cobb County is using many social media outlets, such as Facebook and Twitter, to keep the community actively involved.

The county also made accessing vital information even easier by creating a page on YouTube. Many videos can be found on the site, including details on becoming a emergency-911 operator, pets available for adoption and how to stay safe while using a recreational trail. Videos from the Emergency Management Agency help you protect your family by providing a wealth of information on topics ranging from sheltering in place and first aid kits to reporting suspicious activity and how to join the Community Emergency Response Team program.

To view informative county videos, visit youtube.com/cobbcountytv23.

Cobb Fire and Emergency Services also has an official YouTube page to provide fire and life safety information to the public. Videos featured include episodes of 3rd Alarm, which takes a closer look at the fire department and explores the field of fire fighting. The show is written and produced by career firefighters.

Other videos include information on how to become a firefighter and how to check your smoke detector.
