Effective today, I'm leaving X. In the event of an emergency, updates will still be posted here. Stay connected: follow me on BlueSky (https://t.co/bsRXqXJ3ml) and join me there if you haven’t already. I'm excited to continue the conversation on this new platform!
Today, at Atlanta’s @carterlibrary I announced the name of the Navy’s newest nuclear-powered
attack submarine, SSN 813, the future USS Atlanta. Thank you, @RepNikema and @andreforatlanta for
welcoming USS Atlanta into your community.
Thank you to @andreforatlanta and the entire city of Atlanta for hosting #WWEBadBlood last night. A very successful show across the board, and we can’t wait to be back soon.
Rockdale County has issued a new shelter in place order for Rockdale County. The Georgia Poison Center has created a hotline for calls relating to symptoms.
The Atlanta Fire Rescue Department is conducting additional testing of our air quality in Atlanta. We continue to await additional health guidance from the Georgia Department of Public Health. Visit https://t.co/60sZ5w0d5I for health-related information.
Take note of the message that has gone out by GEMA (Georgia Emergency Management Agency) regarding the air quality after the lab fire in Conyers, Rockdale County, Georgia.
As we have stated this morning, we know that people are concerned so you can take additional precautions such as staying indoors with windows closed if you have medical conditions or other health concerns.
I am grateful for the opportunity to visit with him and his wife Rose at their home last month and express the gratitude and pride Atlantans and millions worldwide held for such a truly good man.
At this time, no warnings or advisories have been issued. We will continue to coordinate with EPA and EPD and all updates will be posted on our social channels. If you have concerns stay inside, close windows and doors, and turn off ventilation systems.
@AnthonyMKreis@DougShipmanATL @AmirForATL We have been made aware. Atlanta Fire Rescue is going out with detectors to various spots east to see what is in the air. The assumption is a change of the wind direction blowing some of the Conyers fire residuals our way. We will push out messaging as we get more info.
