In the Event of an Emergency...
Tuesday, August 29, 2017

Our coastal community is no stranger to severe weather. But, has a long history with hurricanes dulled our region's reaction time? Today we'll consider how residents can best prepare for not just hurricanes, but other potential emergency situations - like an active shooter, terrorist attack, or periods of civil unrest like Charlottesville recently endured. Does your family have an evacuation plan and a "go bag" packed and ready? Connect with us on Facebook and Twitter and join us live with your calls at 440-2665.
