Thanks for joining us for Flood Safety Preparedness Week! See additional #floodsafety information at https://weather.gov/safety/flood #FSPW2023 #gawx #thatsawrap

Although this is #FloodSafety Preparedness Week, it's worth highlighting a drought resource. Drought.gov is brought to you by NIDIS, a multi-agency partnership that coordinates drought services. #droughtpreparedness #FSPW2023 #gawx

The NWS could not #protectlivesandproperty without the help from our partners! Check out these partners (only just some of the many!) who provide mission-critical information, especially during floods. #FSPW2023 #gawx

It's the last day of #FloodSafety Week and we're talking about our partners! USGS is one of our vital partners, providing real-time water data to us for warnings. And yes, 'gage' is spelled correctly. Check their website out to see why! #FSPW2023 #gawx usgs.gov

Be the hero! Help get NWS weather information out to those who need it! Sharing critical weather information with others helps us on our mission toward a Weather-Ready Nation! #FSPW2023 #gawx

Beginning in 2022, if you receive a cell phone weather alert for Flash Flooding, it's because forecasters are expecting 'considerable' or 'catastrophic' damage. Be sure your weather alerts are turned on in your phone settings! #FSPW2023 #gawx

Today is Day 4 of #FloodSafety Preparedness Week and we're talking about NWS Products and Services. Do you know the difference between a Watch and a Warning? It's never too early to learn! #FSPW2023 #gawx

NWS River Flood Warnings indicate Minor, Moderate or Major Flooding is occurring or will occur at a given stretch of a creek or river. Adjectives like 'epic' or 'biblical' may provide context, but aren't official categories. #gawx #FSPW2023 #floodsafety

It's Day 3 of #FloodSafety Preparedness Week in Georgia. Did you know that Flash Flooding occurs far more often in north Georgia? #FSPW2023 #flashfloodstats #gawx

Don't underestimate the power of water! On average, deaths due to flooding are just as numerous as those attributed to tornadoes. Most of these flood fatalities occur in vehicles. Don't risk your safety or the safety of others! #FSPW2023 #TADD

Think twice before you drive around barricades and/or through flooded roadways. #TurnAroundDontDrown #TADD #FSPW2023 #gawx

It's Day 2 of #FloodSafety Preparedness Week. Did you know more deaths occur due to flooding than from any other thunderstorm related hazard? And most of these happen in vehicles. Don't risk your safety or the safety of others! #FSPW2023 #TADD #gawx

Think about how you would respond during and after a flood. Now is the time to prepare! #FloodSafety #FSPW2023 #gawx

When flooding occurs, it's more than just the water itself that is dangerous! Once you've made it to higher ground, make sure you stay out of the water! #FSPW2023 #gawx

This week, take some time to familiarize yourself with easy steps to help keep you and your family safe during flash floods. #floodsafety #FSPW2023 #gawx

Today is the first day of #FloodSafety Week in Georgia! Ever wonder how much rain falls in a typical year? Georgia sees rainfall year-round -- from chilly stratiform weather, summertime thunderstorms and everything in between. Flooding can occur any time! #FSPW2023 #gawx

The best time to prepare for flooding was before the last flood. The absolute next best time is now! Tomorrow begins Flood Safety Preparedness Week in Georgia. Don't let this nice weather fool you. Prepare now! #floodsafety #fspw2023 #gawx
