Atlanta, GA — For hurricane season, the Georgia Emergency Management Agency/Homeland Security (GEMA) has revised its website and launched a new webcast. The purpose of this upgrade is to make the most up-to-date information more accessible to Georgians before, during and after disaster.
The revamped website, www.gema.ga.gov, boasts a modern, colorful design and is divided into user-specific sections to make it easier for site visitors to find the information they need. A new multi-media section includes the GEMA News Minute webcast, produced in partnership with the Georgia Public Broadcasting (GPB). This 90-second webcast is released every Tuesday and covers a wide range of topical information.
“The resources that GPB provided us in putting together this webcast have allowed us to produce a professional and informative product that enables us to better engage our audience,” says GEMA/Homeland Security Director Charley English
In addition, visitors also will have access to real-time updates, such as current weather conditions, open shelters and terrorism alerts. Users looking for preparedness information will find a link to GEMA’sReady Georgia campaign and the downloadable Ready Georgia app.
