About E-Safe: Community Safety & Awareness for Coastal Georgia
E-Safe is a privately operated, noncommercial community information and public-service project providing free Coastal Georgia community safety resources. Founded and operated by Art Bruno, E-Safe connects residents of Savannah, Bloomingdale, Pooler, and surrounding communities with local awareness information, public resources, and practical digital tools. Residents can explore preparedness guidance, fraud alerts, missing-child and lost-pet awareness, weather, veterans resources, local news, and community events in one place. E-Safe is not a government agency, law-enforcement organization, or emergency service. Its information supports informed decisions and stronger neighborhood connections; it does not replace instructions from responsible public agencies. For an immediate emergency, call 911.

How E-Safe Sources and Verifies Community Information
E-Safe brings together official government and agency information, public records, established news publishers, primary program sources, and community submissions. Original E-Safe articles provide local context and practical guidance. Linked news remains the reporting of its named publisher; community posts describe information shared by members and are not official agency announcements.
Source links let readers check the responsible organization, publication date, and latest details. Information collected on a schedule can change between updates. Confirm urgent conditions, eligibility, event arrangements, and official reporting instructions directly with the agency or organization involved.
Art founded E-Safe to bring decades of specialized public safety expertise to the local community. A U.S. Army veteran and retired federal civil servant, Art spent 37 years leading complex law enforcement, criminal intelligence, and strategic security operations across federal agencies and international domains. Through E-Safe, he applies that extensive operational background to keep local neighborhoods informed, resilient, and secure.
