WHEREAS, in 1972, he became the volunteer fire chief of Lumpkin County and went on to achieve historic milestones, including becoming the county's first paramedic during a time when emergency calls were still managed through local funeral homes; and

WHEREAS, he served as civil defense director and director of the Dahlonega-Lumpkin County Emergency Management Agency; and

WHEREAS, Mr. Seabolt designed and implemented Lumpkin County's emergency 9-1-1 system, ensuring that emergency assistance could be accessed quickly and reliably through a modern communications framework; and

WHEREAS, his leadership and expertise extended state wide through training emergency management professionals, serving as president of the Emergency Management Association of Georgia, earning his emergency management masters certification, and serving on the State 9-1-1 Advisory Board; and

WHEREAS, Mr. Seabolt's more than five decades of service established a lasting foundation of public safety and community resilience and it is abundantly fitting and proper that this remarkable and distinguished Georgian be appropriately recognized by dedicating an intersection in his honor.
