MARCH 2013

Weather Preparedness


The months of March and April are the peak tornado months in Alabama. The second peak is during the latter portion of October and the first part of November. This is not to say a tornado could not come about during any other part of the year as has been evidenced from past weather disasters. Are you prepared ?

Help protect your family against potential weather disasters and emergency situations by compiling an emergency supply kit.

The kit can be assembled over a five-month period on a weekly basis. Help protect your family against potential weather disasters and emergency situations by compiling an emergency supply kit. Perishable items should be changed or replaced every six months. For a list of items you may need click here.
The Dog Might Be Innocent

Most often when seeing garbage strewn about the first thought is that a dog has run amuck. It may not always be a dog or other wild animals. It may be a bird, namely crows.

Crows are naturally curious birds that are quite inventive when it comes to accessing trash cans and bags. The crows tear open the bags looking for food scraps as well as items to build their nests with. Crows will spread the trash out over the ground and make quite a mess in their search. To keep crows out of trash bags, you must use measures to scare the crows away and keep the trash bags properly sealed.
