Severe Weather Awareness Week has started in Tennessee, emphasizing the importance of preparedness for storms and severe conditions. The week aims to educate residents on safety measures and encourage vigilance during the upcoming storm season.
Officials recommend following local National Weather Service offices on social media for updates and alerts. The NWS offices in Memphis, Nashville, Huntsville, Alabama, and Morristown, Tennessee, are all actively sharing information to help residents stay informed.
The campaign includes hashtags such as #SWAW2026, #WeatherReady, and #TNwx to promote awareness and community engagement. Experts advise Tennesseans to review emergency plans and ensure they are ready for severe weather events.
