Emergency preparedness in Middle Tennessee

This Is Nashville

While we can’t predict an event like a house fire, the full impact of severe weather, or the loss of a major utility, we can be ready, so we can keep our families and neighbors safe. Today, we’re speaking with local emergency preparedness experts about what we should know and have on hand to navigate emergencies. We’ll also find out how our local government agencies, organizations and volunteers work together to keep everyone safe — and to get back to normal when the unexpected happens.
