A very special and heartfelt thank you to the men and women of the Georgia National Guard who are currently in the Northeast helping with the relief effort in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.- With the disastrous arrival of Hurricane Sandy along the East Coast, many of us are worried about our loved ones living in the affected areas. In harsh weather conditions, communication is made difficult. If you live in an area where a hurricane may strike or have loved ones who do, be ready for severe weather with the Hurricane app by the American Red Cross. You can monitor conditions in your area or throughout the storm track, prepare your family and home, find help, and let others know you are safe even if the power is out. FEMA.gov and Ready.gov also offer tips and resources on how to prepare for a natural disaster. Please be prepared and stay safe.
