PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

EVERYONE IS STRONGLY URGED TO STAY INFORMED. IF EARLY EVACUATION
ORDERS ARE ISSUED FOR YOUR AREA...STAY CALM AND TAKE THE NECESSARY
STEPS TO LEAVE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AND IN AN ORDERLY FASHION.

MAKE PLANS TO EVACUATE IF YOU LIVE ON THE IMMEDIATE COAST AND
BARRIER ISLANDS...OR IN A HIGH RISE BUILDING...OR IN A MOBILE
HOME...OR IN A PLACE THAT FLOODS EASILY. BE READY TO ACT IF A

AS TROPICAL STORM ISAAC MOVES CLOSER...THE THREAT FOR SUSTAINED
WINDS WILL LIKELY INCREASE. THE LATEST FORECAST IS FOR TROPICAL
STORM FORCE WINDS TO BEGIN AFFECTING THE AREA MONDAY AFTER
MIDNIGHT.

WINDS OF TROPICAL STORM INTENSITY ARE CAPABLE OF CAUSING MODERATE
DAMAGE TO MOST MOBILE HOMES. HOUSES OF POOR TO AVERAGE
CONSTRUCTION WILL HAVE MODERATE DAMAGE TO SHINGLES...SIDING...AND
GUTTERS. WELL CONSTRUCTED HOMES WILL ALSO SEE SHINGLE AND SIDING
DAMAGE WITH SOME ROOF DAMAGE POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY WITH LONGER
LASTING WINDS. MAKE SURE YOU SECURE LIGHT TO MODERATE WEIGHT ITEMS
THAT COULD BECOME AIRBORNE CAUSING ADDITIONAL DAMAGE AND POSSIBLE
INJURY. CONSIDER STOCKING UP ON NON-PERISHABLE FOODS...LIKE CANNED
GOODS AND BOTTLED WATER. A GOOD RULE OF THUMB IS TO HAVE AT LEAST
A THREE DAY FOOD AND WATER SUPPLY FOR EACH PERSON IN YOUR FAMILY.
REFILL ANY NEEDED PRESCRIPTIONS THAT YOU MAY NEED IN THE DAYS
FOLLOWING THE STORM. MEDICINES MAY BE IN SHORT SUPPLY IN THE AREA
WORST AFFECTED BY THE STORM. BE PREPARED TO EVACUATE IF ORDERED TO
DO SO. LISTEN CLOSELY TO THE ADVICE OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT IN
YOUR AREA.

...STORM SURGE AND STORM TIDE...
IT IS TOO EARLY TO DETERMINE THE EXACT HEIGHTS OF COMBINED STORM
SURGE AND TIDE WATERS FOR SPECIFIC LOCATIONS WITHIN THE FORECAST
AREA TO BE CAUSED BY TROPICAL STORM ISAAC. MUCH DEPENDS ON THE
PRECISE SIZE...INTENSITY AND TRACK OF THIS SYSTEM AS IT
APPROACHES THE COAST. AT THIS TIME...THE POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR
MODERATE COASTAL FLOODING SOMEWHERE ALONG THE FLORIDA PANHANDLE
COAST. RESIDENTS LIVING ALONG THE SHORE SHOULD MONITOR FUTURE
FORECASTS AND BE PREPARED TO EVACUATE IF ORDERED BY LOCAL
EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT OFFICIALS.

...INLAND FLOODING...
DUE TO EXCESSIVE RAINFALL OVER THE LAST MONTH...THE POTENTIAL FOR
WIDESPREAD FLOODING IS INCREASED. DEPENDING ON THE FUTURE TRACK OF
ISAAC...10 TO 15 INCHES OF RAIN...WITH ISOLATED HIGHER TOTALS
POSSIBLE ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH THURSDAY.

APPROACHES THE COAST. GIVEN THE LATEST FORECAST...THERE IS A
CHANCE FOR COMBINED STORM SURGE AND ASTRONOMICAL TIDE WATERS UP
TO 5 FEET ABOVE MEAN SEA LEVEL WITHIN AREAS CLOSER TO THE COAST...
RESULTING IN WORST CASE FLOOD INUNDATION OF 2 TO 4 FEET ABOVE
GROUND LEVEL SOMEWHERE WITHIN THE SURGE ZONE.

LOOSE OUTDOOR OBJECTS INSIDE. BRACE ALL EXTERIOR DOORS...INCLUDING
GARAGE DOORS.

COMPLY WITH ANY EVACUATION ORDERS ISSUED FOR YOUR AREA. IF YOUR
HOME IS VULNERABLE TO HIGH WINDS...OR YOU LIVE IN A SURGE ZONE OR
ANY LOCATION PRONE TO FLOODING...EVACUATE TO A DESIGNATED SHELTER
OR RIDE OUT THE STORM IN THE STURDY HOME OF FAMILY OR FRIENDS
OUTSIDE OF EVACUATION ZONES.

...PROBABILITY OF TROPICAL STORM/HURRICANE CONDITIONS...
THE CHANCE FOR HURRICANE CONDITIONS AT THIS TIME IS VERY SMALL.
ALSO...THE CHANCE FOR TROPICAL STORM CONDITIONS AT THIS TIME IS
UP TO 55 PERCENT. THE ONSET OF TROPICAL STORM CONDITIONS COULD
START AS EARLY AS MONDAY EVENING.

...WINDS...
WITH THE WESTWARD SHIFT IN THE FORECAST TRACK...SUSTAINED
TROPICAL STORM FORCE WINDS ARE BECOMING LESS LIKELY. HOWEVER...DUE
TO THE UNCERTAINTY IN THE FORECAST TRACK...THE TROPICAL STORM
WARNING AND HURRICANE WATCH REMAINS IN PLACE. ANY EASTWARD SHIFT
IN THE FORECAST TRACK COULD LEAD TO A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN THE
EXPECTED WINDS. WITH THE CURRENT TRACK...MAXIMUM WINDS ARE
EXPECTED TO REACH 25 TO 35 MPH WITH HIGHER GUSTS...PRIMARILY
MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY.

RESIDENTS SHOULD MOVE LOOSE ITEMS INDOORS...SUCH AS GARBAGE CANS
AND OUTDOOR FURNITURE...AS THEY WILL BE BLOWN AROUND. NEWLY
PLANTED OR YOUNG TREES AND SHRUBS MAY BE UPROOTED IF NOT SECURED
PROPERLY. ISOLATED POWER OUTAGES WILL BE POSSIBLE.

AS TROPICAL STORM ISAAC APPROACHES THE COAST...THERE IS AN
INCREASING CHANCE FOR COMBINED STORM SURGE AND ASTRONOMICAL TIDE
WATERS OF 3 TO 5 FEET ABOVE MEAN SEA LEVEL WITHIN AREAS CLOSER TO
THE COAST...RESULTING IN WORST CASE FLOOD INUNDATION 1 TO 3 FEET
ABOVE GROUND LEVEL SOMEWHERE WITHIN THE SURGE ZONE.

THERE IS AN ELEVATED THREAT TO LIFE AND PROPERTY FROM COASTAL
FLOODING...POTENTIALLY HAVING A MODERATE AND NOTABLE IMPACT. THE
CONCERN IS FOR THE CHANCE OF MINOR COASTAL FLOODING TO OCCUR IN
AREAS WITHIN THE SURGE ZONE. THE GREATEST POTENTIAL FOR COASTAL
STORM SURGE FLOODING WILL BE AROUND THE TIME OF HIGH TIDE
BEGINNING LATE MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY. ON TUESDAY
MORNING...HIGH TIDE IS BETWEEN 6 AM AND 8 AM CENTRAL TIME.

MODERATE TO MAJOR BEACH EROSION IS POSSIBLE...WHICH WILL BE
ENHANCED AROUND THE TIME OF HIGH TIDE. SURF HEIGHTS ALONG THE
PANHANDLE BEACHES COULD BUILD AS HIGH AS 10 TO 14 FEET.

...PROBABILITY OF TROPICAL STORM/HURRICANE CONDITIONS...
THE CHANCE FOR HURRICANE CONDITIONS AT THIS TIME IS VERY SMALL.
ALSO...THE CHANCE FOR TROPICAL STORM CONDITIONS AT THIS TIME IS
UP TO 55 PERCENT. THE ONSET OF TROPICAL STORM CONDITIONS COULD
START AS EARLY AS MONDAY EVENING.

...WINDS...
WITH THE WESTWARD SHIFT IN THE FORECAST TRACK...SUSTAINED
TROPICAL STORM FORCE WINDS ARE BECOMING LESS LIKELY. HOWEVER...DUE
TO THE UNCERTAINTY IN THE FORECAST TRACK...THE TROPICAL STORM
WARNING AND HURRICANE WATCH REMAINS IN PLACE. ANY EASTWARD SHIFT
IN THE FORECAST TRACK COULD LEAD TO A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN THE
EXPECTED WINDS. WITH THE CURRENT TRACK...MAXIMUM WINDS ARE
EXPECTED TO REACH 25 TO 35 MPH WITH HIGHER GUSTS...PRIMARILY
MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY.

RESIDENTS SHOULD MOVE LOOSE ITEMS INDOORS...SUCH AS GARBAGE CANS
AND OUTDOOR FURNITURE...AS THEY WILL BE BLOWN AROUND. NEWLY
