NOAA WEATHER RADIOS A VALUABLE RESOURCE
As the 2008 Hurricane Season gets underway, it is of the upmost importance for Nassau County residents to begin preparing for inclement weather.
Nassau County residents are encouraged to obtain a NOAA "ALL-HAZARDS" WEATHER RADIO from local hardware, electronics and supermarket vendors. NOAA weather alerts can also be heard Online at http://www.nws.noaa.gov/nwr/streamaudio.htm#livestream by clicking on “Florida”, and then “Jacksonville”.
ALTHOUGH THE WEBSITE OFFERS THE SAME ANNOUNCEMENTS HEARD ON THE NOAA WEATHER RADIOS, NASSAU COUNTY RESIDENTS ARE ENCOURAGED TO OBTAIN A RADIO AS INTERENT ACCESS CANNOT BE GUARANTEED DURING A STORM.
Please check the National Weather Service/Jacksonville website, http://www.srh.noaa.gov/jax/index.shtml or call the Emergency Management Office at 904-548-4980 for on-going information and updates.
HURRICANE PREPAREDNESS FOR 2008
History teaches a lack of hurricane awareness and preparation are common threads among all major hurricane disasters. Knowing one’s vulnerability and what actions to take can reduce the effects of a hurricane disaster. To enable citizen preparedness, please visit the National Hurricane Center’s Hurricane Preparedness website at http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/HAW2/english/intro.shtml. Or, for locally-specific preparedness information visit the Nassau County Emergency Management website at http://www.nassaufl-em.com/. Nassau County has enjoyed a respite from the threat of natural disaster. During such times citizens are highly cautioned to not be lulled into a false sense of security. Nature continually defies statistics and northeast Florida remains vulnerable to natural disaster, especially during Hurricane Season. Please take preparatory actions for you and yours!
