Now is the time to prepare for a major storm

            The Franklin County Emergency Management Office is reminding all residents to make sure they are prepared for any major storms this year.

So far this has been a very quiet season but this is the time of year that we tend to see more storm activity.

We are now entering what is historically the most active time of hurricane season between August 15th and October 15th.

The EOC is currently monitoring Tropical Storm Danny in the Atlantic Ocean – the storm is still thousands of miles away, but residents should take the time to make sure they are prepared.

This would be a good time to check your disaster kits and check and review your Emergency Plans.

Make sure you have all the supplies needed for a hurricane.

Make sure all outside equipment and lawn furniture is stored properly and check your shutters and equipment used to secure your home.
