MONTGOMERY – Governor Robert Bentley on Thursday announced the launch of new Ready Alabama initiatives that will help people across the state prepare for natural disasters.

The new initiatives are designed to reach more people through a renewed focus on web content (ReadyAlabama.gov), social media interaction, strategic partnerships, statewide media, and the Governor’s Office.

“Through Ready Alabama, we are connecting people with the information and resources they need to plan ahead long before a naturaldisaster,” Governor Bentley said.  “We are also re-launching the Ready Alabama website in a format that is more informative and user-friendly.  I encourage everyone to take the time to visit ReadyAlabama.gov and follow some simple steps to prepare for future emergencies.  The Ready Alabama campaign can help save lives.” More
