Hurricane season is days old, and the City of Biloxi wants to know if you are prepared. To help residents plan, the city is airing its “R U Ready 2022?” program this month on BTV, the city’s municipal TV channel.
Hear from a host of disaster preparation and response authorities in the latest edition of “R U Ready?”. The 7-minute program, which airs at 7:45 each morning and evening, and each afternoon at 1:45 on BTV, is designed to provide a broad base of information from a variety of sources to help local residents and business owners prepare for hurricane season. You can also see it on the city’s YouTube page anytime.
“R U Ready?” includes segments featuring Biloxi Fire Chief and Emergency Manager Nick Geiser; Lt. Col. Mark Withee, 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron; Capt. Michael Strickland, Mississippi Department of Marine Resources; Dr. Tracie Sempier, Mississippi-Alabama Sea Grant Consortium; and Jeff Shepard, Mississippi Power.
