 Did you know Gilmer County has a voluntary registry for people with disabilities to self-identify in order to receive targeted assistance during emergencies and disasters? Scan the attached QR code and then select Gilmer County as your source. Once in the app, tap "More" then select "Special Needs Registration."

 Be in the Know: Get Alerts. Sign up for your community’s warning system. disasters can happen suddenly, so it’s important to have multiple ways to get alerts. The Emergency Alert System (EAS) and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Weather Radio also provide emergency alerts.

 Be in the Know: Evacuation. Having evacuation plans in place can save valuable time and, most importantly, lives. Always follow the instructions of local officials and remember that your evacuation route may be on foot depending on the type of disaster. Whether it's the home of a friend or family member or a pre-designated
shelter, know your evacuation destination.

 ready.gov/home-safety has resources to help keep you safe from disasters like hurricanes, floods and other natural and man-made hazards. But are you prepared for everyday injuries that can
happen at home?

 Every year, millions of people seek medical attention after they’re
injured at home, so it’s important to know what to do to keep yourself and your loved ones safe. Ready.gov has tips on how to prevent and treat common causes of injuries in the home, including falls, poisoning, and burns.

 Be in the Know: Schools and Childcare. Protecting children is a parent’s number one priority and responsibility. Make sure you know the evacuation and reunification plans of your children’s school and childcare.

With the risk for tornadoes overnight Friday and throughout the day on Saturday, it's important to have multiple ways to receive storm alerts including Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEAS).

WEAs are short emergency messages sent to mobile phones from cell towers within a defined geographic location. They are received based on current location and are not subscription based.

To check if WEAs are turned on, check the notification settings on your phone.
