For information during a natural or man-made diaster call our office at 850-653-8977.

The National Weather Service (NWS) has implemented a voluntary recognition program to help better protect people from the dangers of lightning. There are 6 different types of plans depending on entity: Outdoor Venues, Golf Facilities, Communities, Beach Patrols and Lifeguards, Wilderness and Outdoor Hiking, and Boating and Sailing.
This program is a key component of NOAA's commitment to a Weather Ready Nation. Complete an interactive form (must review and accept Terms of Use) or a fillable Word document to create a draft lightning safety plan for your organization. After you complete your draft plan, email it to your local NWS office for review. After NWS approval, your organization can then be recognized for having a written plan for lightning safety.

For more information on the toolkits, including fillable forms that show what each plan looks like, visit: www.weather.gov/safety/lightning-toolkits

Another hot one is in the forecast. However, a few showers and thunderstorms are forecast to develop across parts of Georgia and the Florida Big Bend. They'll be isolated in nature, but could drop a quick inch or two of much needed rain.
