Emergency Preparedness the Focus of Weekend Presentation



DECATUR - Macon County is better prepared in the event of a tornado after a disaster preparedness event this weekend. 

The Macon County Association for Home & Community Education hosted a presentation at Tabernacle Baptist Church on Saturday with featured speaker, disaster expert, and avid storm chaser Eddy Weiss. 

Karen Cahill, in charge of community outreach and family issues for the Association, says they came up with the idea for the presentation and information sharing earlier this year…


Also featured were the American Red Cross, Decatur Fire Department, and Macon County EMA, among others.  Visitors got a chance to sit in a National Guard Black Hawk helicopter or St. Mary’s medevac chopper.
