Reminder📷
The Alabama Emergency Management Agency in conjuction with The Alabama Department of Revenue manages a Storm Shelter Tax Credit to help homeowners stay safe during severe weather.
Rip currents kill more people on the Alabama/Florida panhandle beaches than tornadoes and hurricanes combined - and the risk is HIGH this week!
This video will give you all the info you need to keep you and your family safe during your next beach trip.
To assemble your kit store items in airtight plastic bags and put your entire disaster supplies kit in one or two easy-to-carry containers such as a backpack, plastic containers or a duffel bag.
You may have to evacuate quickly due to a hurricane if you live in an evacuation zone. Learn your evacuation routes, practice with your household and pets, and identify where you will stay.
Look for deals at garage sales and thrift stores. You may find useful items like camping gear, tools, cookware and backpacks or luggage at a fraction of the retail price. Also, keep an eye out for seasonal sales on emergency supplies.
We spent time today visiting Alabama’s “Task Force One” - one of the most prepared and well-equipped disaster response groups anywhere!
Thank you to Mobile Fire-Rescue and the City of Mobile for hosting us and your work to keep Alabamians and Americans alike safe.
