Winter Weather Awareness Week

Winter is coming! And December 1 through 7 is Winter Weather Awareness Week in Kentucky. As the winter weather season approaches, Kentucky Emergency Management, The National Weather Service and the Kentucky Weather preparedness Committee would like to remind you to “Be Aware, Be Prepared.” KYEM Director Michael Dossett said “Winters in Kentucky can vary from mild sunny days, stormy tornadic days, to historic snowfalls” and Kentuckians need to know the risks and prepare for winter events. During this week, citizens should prepare themselves, families, communities, and business for the upcoming winter by reviewing emergency plans and building or resupplying emergency kits.
