Date: March 3 – 9
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) are continuing their partnership to increase public awareness of the hazards posed by severe weather and the common-sense steps we can all take to be better prepared. March 3 marks the start of National Severe Weather Preparedness Week. Severe weather affects everyone and FEMA and NOAA are asking for your help to increase awareness and to motivate individuals, families, businesses, and communities to know their risk, take action, and be an example through the Be a Force of Nature pledge campaign. Together, they call upon you to Pledge to Prepare and to Be a Force of Nature. Join today and pledge to be prepared for the severe weather in your area. We also ask you to visit ready.gov/severe-weather or noaa.gov/wrn to pledge and learn more information on tornadoes and severe thunderstorms to be better prepared.
