Natural Disasters in Georgia
Natural disasters generally happen suddenly, leaving us with little time to prepare. To help the citizens of Georgia prepare for natural disasters before they occur, the Natural Disasters Web site provides valuable, and possibly life-saving, information on floods, hurricanes, drought and other natural disasters.
Walk Georgia. Move more. Live more.

Registration for this free program is open August 24 - September 14, 2008. To learn more, please visit www.walkgeorgia.org.
UGA crosses border to learn Mexican culture
To learn firsthand about Hispanic culture, Kate Whiting traveled to rural Mexico to live with the people there. The experience, she said, made her better able to serve the growing Hispanic population in Georgia. Whiting is a University of Georgia Cooperative Extension agent in Peach County. She joined 16 other UGA Extension agents and specialists for a two-week study trip to Veracruz, Mexico in May.
