Program Description: 
Being WeatherReady isn’t important only in the spring. Weather hazards happen all year round. Meteorologists will explain what the National Weather Service is trying to tell us, what actions we should take, how to put together a disaster kit, how to develop a communication plan, and where to shelter. We want you to Be Prepared, Not Scared. Bring your weather preparedness questions to the library and get answers from meteorologists.
