The weather has been relatively mild this week, but you never know what is around the corner. Which is why Georgia Governor Nathan Deal declared next week (Feb. 6 – 10) Severe Weather Awareness Week across the state. Throughout the week, Georgians are asked to think about their own preparedness and safety during severe weather.
The week kicks off on Monday, Feb. 6 with Family Preparedness Day. On this day, each household is asked to get a weather radio and program it to their specific county. These radios will keep families more aware of severe weather so that they will be able to prepare their homes, ensuring their safety during storms. The rest of the week will also focus on thunderstorm, tornado, lightning and flood safety.
The American Red Cross East Georgia Chapter is here to help you and your families remain safe during storms and will be here in the aftermath. Stay tuned to our blog, Facebook and Twitter to receive more updates about the informative week.
