Friend -
As hurricane season continues, I want to help you and your family prepare. Storms are unpredictable so it is important that you and your family are prepared for the before, during, and aftermath of a storm.
Creating an emergency plan, gathering items for a supply kit, and following the three steps below is a good place to start.
- Be Informed - Stay up to date with weather tracking, emergency alerts, and traffic updates with the Ready Georgia App.
- Plan Ahead - Put together an emergency plan complete with a survival kit, an alternative shelter plan, and an evacuation route ahead of time.
- Take Action - Familiarize yourself with the local, state, and federal hurricane response plans and numbers in the case of an emergency during the aftermath of a storm.
