FKDC Supports Florida Hazardous Weather Awareness Week

The Florida Kidney Disaster Coalition encourages Floridians to take part in the statewide Hazardous Weather Awareness Week. Since 1999, this annual event recognizes that Florida has more weather dangers than just hurricanes. Thunderstorms, lightning, tornadoes, floods, rip currents, and extreme temperatures can impact the State, too.

The "Weather Report" is a culmination of efforts from many state agencies and newspapers that aims to educate Floridians about each of these weather dangers, and also about disaster housing, boat safety, and NOAA weather radios. Full of colorful pictures and games, this publication is suitable for adults and children.
