Throughout the week, Escambia County Emergency Management will spend each day working to increase awareness and emphasize the importance of preparedness for severe weather hazards.

“During Severe Weather Awareness Week, we would like our citizens to be aware of the numerous natural disasters we can experience in Escambia County," said Public Safety Director Eric Gilmore.
