Did you know today is #DoSomethingNiceDay? How can we observe the day? Do something nice. The something can be anything from buying a cup of coffee for someone in line at the coffee shop to giving a compliment to the tired clerk. Maybe the day calls for sending flowers with a card that says “just because,” or asking the neighbors over for a barbecue in the backyard or mowing the lawn for someone. We can all use more "nice" in our world, so let's make someone's day a little brighter!

If you own a boat, kayak, canoe or any other watercraft, it’s time to think about storage for the winter months. Using a self-storage facility is far more secure and convenient than trying to use your garage or driveway and less expensive than a marina. Whatever you do, be sure to prepare your boat so that it’s ready and waiting for you in optimal condition when summer rolls around. The tips in this article will help you understand how to best protect your boat while it’s in storage. https://bit.ly/3og02nG"

If you can’t get motivated to pack, one possible reason for your current state of moderate demotivation may be that you’re just not seeing the progress you were hoping to see when you first started boxing up your things. In fact, how fast and how effectively you’ll be able to complete your mini packing tasks will depend largely on how often you get distracted from whatever it is that you’re currently doing. Do your best to keep distractions at bay!
Don't Forget, Daylight Savings Time ends this weekend on November 1st! It is time to fall back, set your clocks appropriately Saturday night.
Get yourself a packing checklist and have the problem-free packing experience you’ve always wanted. Be sure to initiate the packing process like professional packers would, and you'll finish packing days ahead of schedule!

Leaving your RV in your driveway or on your residential property may be free, but it can be unsightly and inconvenient. Your HOA may have restrictions against parking large vehicles and your neighbors will probably complain. Another drawback is exposure to the elements. Your best option is self storage. It’s convenient, safe, and will keep your neighbors from asking you to move. Read below for information to help you make the right decision for you and your RV. https://bit.ly/3kX36TG

Holiday Moving Tip: If you live for the holiday spirit, then there’s nothing more depressing than an undecorated home during the November and December months. To avoid feeling depressed once you’re in your digs, I suggest packing up your Christmas decor, gift wrap, presents, and holiday wardrobe in separate and clearly labeled boxes. Ask the movers to put them in your main living room when they arrive at your new home. Happy decorating!

Now, more than ever, regular exercise is important for both your mental and physical well being. Despite the precautions, some people still don’t feel safe in a crowded gym, and some people feel safe but resent having to submit to wearing a mask and social distancing. It would be comfortable and convenient if you could workout without leaving the comfort of your own home. And, so much new technology available, why not turn your garage into a home gym. You can relocate the clutter to a self storage unit and remodel that space into a personalized mini gym. https://bit.ly/3nmJpoE

Heads Up! There will be a tornado drill being held today for Georgia.
News Now Georgia- NNG
February 3 at 3:57 AM ·
Tornado Drill to be held on Wednesday Feb. 3
The Georgia Emergency Management and Homeland Security Agency (GEMA/HS) is holding a statewide PrepareAthon! tornado drill Wednesday, Feb. 3, at 9 a.m. This event coincides with Severe Weather Preparedness Week to encourage Georgians to prepare now for any type of severe weather. Tornado sirens are scheduled to be tested state wide during this time as well.
“Severe weather can occur at any time,” said Chris Stallings, Director of GEMA/HS. “It’s important for Georgians to practice what to do in the event of a tornado so they can respond appropriately and limit damage to life and property.”
GEMA/HS urges Georgians to participate, as the peak of tornado activity typically occurs in the spring months. To prepare, plan and stay informed about tornadoes. Ready Georgia shares the following tips:
Before a drill
Make a “Ready Kit” for at least three days of self-sufficiency.
Familiarize yourself with the terminology used to identify a tornado hazard.
A tornado watch means weather conditions are favorable for tornadoes to develop.
A tornado warning means either a tornado is occurring, or expected to develop shortly in your area and you need to take shelter immediately.
Determine in advance where you will take shelter during the tornado drill.
Storm cellars or basements provide the best protection.
If underground shelter is not available, an interior room or hallway on the lowest floor possible is the best option.
In a high-rise building, go to a small interior room or hallway on the lowest floor possible.
During a drill
Announce the start of the tornado drill and inform participants that they should act as though a tornado warning has been issued.
Evacuate participants just as you would if you were taking shelter during a tornado warning. Use stairs to reach the lowest level of a building; avoid using elevators.
Once participants reach the designated safe area, they should crouch as low as possible to the floor, facing down and covering their heads with their hands.
Once everyone has been evacuated and taken cover, announce that the drill is over.
After a drill
Review the drill to identify any necessary changes or improvements to your tornado safety procedures. For example:
Do more safe areas need to be identified?
Do the designated safe areas need to have clutter removed or need to be cleaned out to be more accessible?
Does everyone know the fastest routes to take shelter in the safe areas?
Is there a better method for letting everyone know of an approaching tornado needed?
For more information on preparing for severe weather, contact your local EMA or visit Ready Georgia or www.gema.ga.gov.
###
As part of the Office of the Governor, GEMA/HS works with local, state and federal governments, in partnership with the private sector and faith-based community, to protect life and property against man-made and natural emergencies. In addition, GEMA/HS employees are on 24-hour call statewide to assist local authorities when disaster strikes. GEMA/HS’s “Ready Georgia” campaign helps Georgians prepare for disasters. Visit www.gema.ga.gov for more information.
The average American spends at least an hour a day cleaning their home. Instead of stashing items away in the closet, garage, or attic, self storage helps you save time and free up space by storing these items in a secure location.
