Published: Friday, February 28, 2014 at 07:46 PM.
Floods, hurricanes, tornadoes – one day your family and property are secure, and the next day nothing is certain anymore.
That’s why agencies and organizations like the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration and the National Weather Service – on down to local emergency services agencies, are participating in National Severe Weather Preparedness week, which lasts Sunday through March 8.
In addition to activities nationwide, there will be a statewide tornado drill Wednesday starting at 9:30 a.m.
Included among topics brought up during the week are knowing the risks of particular severe weather events, and how to take action.
