There is something very charming and familiar about Chatham County; very historic, yet very now; very suburban, yet very metropolitan; simply an amazing place to live, work, play and raise a family. Chatham County is the 5th oldest county in the State of Georgia and the largest county outside of the Atlanta metropolitan area. Chatham is an idyllic riverfront community containing the beautiful and international city of Savannah and the 3 crystal clear miles of uninterrupted public beach at Tybee Island.
Chatham County formally established a new Resilience Program in 2022. The program will be working throughout all of the County’s departments to reduce the vulnerability of our facilities and its residents to climate change and build greater resilience against the risks to our government and the public. Chatham County is committed to move forward and evolve with our ever-changing conditions. By focusing on strategic planning, wise investment, and adaptations now, we can make proactive changes to maximize our preparedness and overall resilience while the impacts of climate change and sea level rise are still minimal. Chatham County believes in proactivity rather than reactivity in the face of these changes to exponentially benefit the County and its residents by minimizing the resources necessary to prepare, preserving our unique quality of life long into the future.
