ContactRelief is making public its Hurricane Irma recommendations made to subscribers Thursday, September 7th, to suspend contact with consumers in additional Florida and Georgia counties.
Tropical Storm force winds are expected to hit the southern Georgia border around 8 PM Sunday. Hurricane force winds will not be far behind a powerful storm such as Irma. ContactRelief recommends suspending contact to consumers 72 hours before landfall of a Category 5 hurricane. Suspending contact allows consumers in the affected region to focus on preparing for the advancing storm while protecting and promoting your brand image, reducing the risk of adverse actions, and improving your contact efficiency by focusing on consumers in other areas who are receptive to your message.
Contact should be suspended to the following Florida counties: Bay, Calhoun, Duval, Franklin, Gadsden, Gulf, Hamilton, Jackson, Jefferson, Leon, Liberty, NewBaker.
Contact should be suspended to the following Georgia counties: Appling, Atkinson, Bacon, Berrien, Brantley, Brooks, Bryan, Camden, Charlton, Chatham, Clinch, Coffee, Cook, Decatur, Echols, Glynn, Grady, Lanier, Liberty, Long, Lowndes, McIntosh, Pierce, Seminole, Thomas, Ware, Wayne.
