This resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives recognizes Severe Weather Preparedness Week, an annual observance meant to promote awareness and readiness ahead of severe weather in Georgia. It praises the National Weather Service office in Peachtree City, broadcast television meteorologists, and other state and private sector weather professionals for their forecasting and public safety work during events like tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, winter storms, and extreme heat. The resolution directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare copies of the resolution for distribution to the National Weather Service, broadcast television stations, and other meteorologists named in the text.
