Natural Disasters in Georgia
Natural disasters generally happen suddenly, leaving us with little time to prepare. To help the citizens of Georgia prepare for natural disasters before they occur, the Natural Disasters Web site provides valuable, and possibly life-saving, information on floods, hurricanes, drought and other natural disasters.
