The National Weather Service, the Tennessee Emergency Management Agency and other supporting organizations are working together to help in providing the public with information about severe weather safety.  Advance planning and increased awareness will help Tennesseans survive these deadly storms.  Governor Phil Bredesen has proclaimed February  24- 29, 2008, as "SEVERE WEATHER AWARENESS WEEK" in Tennessee.

 

As we move into Spring, now is the time to prepare ourselves for the

hazards and dangers associated with severe weather.  Severe weather can and does occur any time of the day and anytime during the year, but springtime is the time when the most life threatening storms occur.
