(Cleveland)- This week has been designated as Severe Weather Preparedness Week and White County along with state, other local public safety partners, and the National Weather Service in Peachtree City will be working to inform residents about how to prepare for severe weather.
David Murphy, White County Public Safety Director said in a news release that each day White County Public Safety will provide information, tips and links on their Facebook page. Murphy said each year White County receives threats of severe weather in the form of thunderstorms, tornadoes, lightning, and flooding.
This week serves as a reminder to review emergency procedures and prepare for weather-related hazards.
Today the focus is on Family Preparedness. Have a plan for when severe weather strikes. Purchase a NOAA weather radio and be sure your mobile device receives Wireless Emergency Alerts.
