For a complete guide on how to prepare for disasters that may affect you, check
out the new 2022 Alabama Gulf Coast Emergency Preparedness Guide. The Baldwin
County Emergency Management Agency (BCEMA) is very grateful for the opportunity
to partner with Gulf Coast Media to assist in making this publication a resource
for our community. It is designed to guide you along the way to preparedness in
one of the most beautiful areas within the Continental United States. The
overarching goal of the guide is to be easy to read, perhaps learn something you
did not know, and to encourage all to be prepared as we enjoy the best of what
Alabama has to offer.

A STATEMENT FROM THE DIRECTOR

Growing up and living in Alabama my entire life, I can describe in detail three
different disasters that have an everlasting impact on me as I sit here in this
very moment. You may be interested in the fact that they are not all related to
weather. The first memory I have is sheltering for a tornado still known today
as “April’s Fury”, the second is the attacks on the World Trade Center, and the
third is the tornadoes that occurred throughout the state on April 27, 2011. The
three events described are the very reason why I am so passionate about building
a long-lasting relationship with you. From time to time we are afforded the
opportunity to attend various functions in our local area. During the event you
will find us discussing BCEMA, linking individuals to various resources about
emergency preparedness, and listening to how we can best be of service to the
families and individuals in our area. Before long you will recognize that a
group of individuals that do not know each other are sharing something we all
have in common; we have a story to tell about weather.

Most days in our area are beautiful. Year after year we experience some of the
best festivals, most beautiful beaches, and a thriving environment where people
want to stay, live, and work. Baldwin County and Mobile County are the only two
counties in Alabama located along the Gulf Coast. We are also home to the second
largest delta system in the world. There is something for everyone.

Day to day we find ourselves supporting our families, contributing to our
communities, and enjoying the diversity of our natural resources. With such a
prosperous environment, when do we find time to learn, prepare, and plan for
severe weather? Please think about that for a moment.

Truth be told, we only want to discuss weather when we want to tell our story.
My encouragement for you is to tell your story more. Share your story with
family, community organizations, civic associations, and to whoever may listen.
Remember, your story may save someone’s life, property, and most importantly
encourage them to do something differently to plan, prepare, and protect what is
near and dear to us all.

Tell your story more. There is great value in your story and if you don’t know
where to share – we will point you in the right direction at the end of this
article. There is passion in your story. There is power in how it is told. There
is no way to ever know the difference you will make in someone’s life.

Please follow us on social media and sign up for emergency alerts from BCEMA at
AlertBaldwin.com. Connecting individuals with the right resource during the
right time by using your story is a way we can all work together. Do you have a
story to tell? We’d love to hear from you! Thank you for your influence in our
communities and remember to Stay Alert Baldwin.
