Are You Weather Ready ?

Preparedness starts with you. Each of us must take steps to know when our natural hazards threaten our families, schools, businesses, and institutions. We also must know what to do when these hazards impact our communities. The more informed and prepared we are; the more resilient and safe our communities are.

By being educated on how to recognize threats, how to get and stay informed, and what to do when severe weather impacts are imminent, you help create communities that rapidly recover with minimal life safety and economic impacts.
