RICHMOND, Va. (WWBT) - For the first time, the Commonwealth of Virginia has an “official” Severe Weather Awareness Week. At NBC12 and at some Virginia National Weather Service offices, we’ve had special weeks but this is a state-wide project for the first time ever.
From the National Weather Service:
Please join us in promoting severe weather safety during this year’s “Severe Weather Awareness Week”. The National Weather Service asks emergency management, public safety officials, local media and Weather-Ready Nation Ambassadors to help join forces in improving the nation’s readiness, responsiveness, and overall resilience against severe weather during the upcoming season.
