From February 28th to April 24th, 2024, Tuscaloosa County EMA launched the "Be a Preparedness Champion" campaign. The mission was to provide a fun and engaging way for families and children to learn about storm shelters, preparedness tips, and emergency readiness.

As part of the initiative, citizens had the opportunity to win a weather radio while gaining valuable preparedness knowledge. To see preparedness tips and event photos, click the link above.
