A key part of hurricane preparedness is understanding the dangers that remain well after a storm. This is NOT the time to put your guard down. Nearly half of hurricane fatalities occur after the storm.

Emergencies don’t wait. Neither should you.
Have at least 3 ways to get alerts:
1️⃣ Mobile alerts
2️⃣ Weather radio
3️⃣ Community news channels or broadcasts
Because when seconds count, backups matter.

[Paulding County EMA @PauldingCoEMA]

The best time to prepare for hurricanes is BEFORE hurricane season begins. Avoid having to rush through potentially life-saving preparations by waiting until it’s too late. #HurricanePrep #HurricaneStrong

We all play a role in keeping our communities safe. It’s easy to be distracted during our daily routines such as going to work, school, or the grocery store, but as you’re going about your day, if you see something that doesn’t seem quite right, say something.
