Be Prepared - Severe Weather Season

When a tornado warning goes off, you need to be able to grab your kit and go. Making sure you have everything your family will need is crucial. You won't know how long you will be sheltering for or the damage, when you do exit the shelter.

TO COFFEE CO CERT MEMBERS,

NEED YOUR HELP…April11 - Downtown Spring Fest (10am-3pm) … I only have 1 person signed up to help!!!

1. Need at least 6 volunteers (more would be SUPER) to help with vendor line up behind Coffee Co Courthouse on Edwards Street starting at 0630. We will be in charge of getting the vendors in the correct lineup prior to them moving from Courthouse to Main Street. The first four groups move out at 0700, two at 0705, and 0710. The second four groups move out at 0800, 0800,0815 and 0840. It sounds crazy but it is really easy. PLEASE help me can’t do this with just two of us.

2. After everything is out of the staging area, we are finished with that part. We will then set up our CERT tent in our normal area on College Street, near the Fire department tent and trucks. We will need to have volunteers running our booth and handout disaster information from 10am to 3pm… 7am till 3pm – We will also provide roving teams to help with lost kids and basic first aid if needed.

3. PLEASE come and work for a few hours in the am or pm. You can call, text or email me to let me know you are available

THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH,

Scotty,

Be Prepared - Severe Weather Season

Our season peaks with respect to tornado frequency in March and April, with April taking the cake as the most active throughout the year. While the probability of severe weather is greatest during months of seasonal change, turbulent weather can happen at any time throughout the year.

We stress the importance of being prepared for this very reason.

Pick an out-of-town person for everyone to contact during an emergency.
