Fort Benning Becomes Storm Ready

Fort Benning Becomes StormReady

On February 27, 2013, Fort Benning in west central Georgia became StormReady! This was the second military base in the NWS Peachtree City forecast area to earn this recognition - Robins Air Force Base was the first. The StormReady program helps communities with the communication and safety skills needed to save lives and property, before and during an event.
