FEMA- August Plan
Summer means thunderstorms!
It is important to prepare not only for hurricanes but also strong thunderstorms that can bring tornadoes. Take a look at the links below for some helpful tips!
An important thing to point out is if you see a storm rolling in on the beach, especially with lightning, seek shelter! Lightning travels 270,000 mph so it can strike on the beach very quickly!
