GEMA's 'Ready Georgia' campaign prepares residents for severe storms
(WXIA) -- Severe Weather Awareness week began on Monday, and Georgia Emergency Management Agency has organized a campaign to help Georgians get ready for what storms could hit neighborhoods.
The campaign has been named Ready Georgia, and helps people prepare for the possibility of strong winds, tornadoes and flooding, a spokeswoman said. Even small things, like securing outdoor objects and getting rid of dead tree branches can make a difference.
According to the spokeswoman, Georgians may not realize how dangerous thunderstorms can be, because they are so common to local areas.
