National Severe Weather Preparedness Week (March 2-8, 2014)

The City formally recognized National Severe Weather Preparedness Week in the March 3, 2014 Council Meeting.  National Severe Weather Preparedness Week is sponsored by FEMA and the National Oceanic Atmospheric Agency (NOAA).  It is designed to increase awareness of potential severe weather events and to encourage people and communities to know their risks, take action and be an example.

Severe weather can happen at any time.  That is why it is so important to be prepared ahead of time on an individual family basis, as well as the community level.

TAKE ACTION:

  • Develop a family communication plan
  • Create or buy an emergency supply kit
  • Store at least two weeks worth of food and water
  • Have emergency items on hand such as blankets, flashlights, etc (see http:..emergency.cdc.gov/preparedness/kit/diasasters/index.asp
