Severe weather is a frequent occurrence in Georgia, and this week is dedicated to learning how best to prepare for it.
White County Public Safety is observing Severe Weather Preparedness Week by hosting daily livestreams at 3 p.m. on Facebook and YouTube. The livestreams will feature speakers providing crucial information about severe weather safety.
Monday’s kick-off event featured Dave Nadler, a Warning Coordination Meteorologist with the National Weather Service Peachtree City/Atlanta. Nadler provided insights into weather awareness and the importance of having an emergency plan. You can watch the livestream above or by clicking here.
During the week, there will also be a focus on learning how to prepare for thunderstorms, tornadoes, lightning storms, and flooding.
The weeklong initiative aims to educate and empower the community to stay safe and be well-prepared during severe weather events. The overall aim is to reduce the potential for injury or death.
White County Public Information Officer Bryce Barrett encourages members of the public to “Be proactive, stay informed, and ensure the safety of your loved ones during severe weather events.”
