Get Ready for Extreme Weather and Natural Distasters

Natural and man-made disasters can strike at any time. Ice Storms. Wildfires. Floods. This section helps you learn how to plan, prepare and stay informed when you need it most.

Tornadoes

Tornadoes are nature's most violent storms. They can appear without warning and can be invisible until dust and debris are picked up or a funnel cloud appears. Planning and practicing specifically how and where you take shelter is a matter of survival.

Wildfires

More and more people are making their homes in wooded settings near forests and remote mountains sites. There, homeowners enjoy the beauty of the environment, but face the very real danger of wildfires.

While the danger from winter weather varies across the state, most Georgians are likely to face some type of severe winter weather at some point in their lives.
