Georgia Severe Weather Awareness Week: DAY 1

Today is the first day of Georgia Severe Weather Awareness Week! Day 1 is Family Preparedness Day and Georgians are encouraged to purchase a NOAA weather radio and identify an emergency family meeting place.
This is what GEMA's press release had to say about these important steps:
"Despite recent severe weather events, a 2012 survey revealed 71 percent of respondents have not yet arranged a family meeting place or reconnection plan. In addition, less than 30 percent own NOAA weather radios. NOAA Weather Radio broadcasts National Weather Service watches, warnings, forecasts and other hazard information 24 hours a day. In Georgia, approximately 98 percent of Georgia's population lives within range of NOAA Weather Radio coverage."
Taking these simple measures could easily save the lives of your loved ones!
