Alabama Department of Industrial Relations Director Tom Surtees announced today that workers who became unemployed as a direct result of recent severe storms, tornados, straight-line winds, and flooding in Cullman, DeKalb, Franklin, Jefferson, Lawrence, Marshall, Tuscaloosa and Walker counties may qualify for unemployment assistance.
People who live in or worked in these counties and become unemployed due to the severe storms, flooding, tornadoes, and straight-line winds during the period of April 15, 2011, and continuing may be eligible for the assistance under the Disaster Unemployment Assistance (DUA) program, which was triggered when President Obama designated the area as a disaster area on April 28, 2011.

Generator safety tips

Submitted by Anonymous on Friday, April 29th, 9:13 am

Never use a generator indoors or in an attached garage. Don't connect your generator directly to your home's wiring. Don't plug a portable generator into an electrical outlet in your home or garage. Don't overload the generator. Make sure your generator is properly grounded to avoid electrical shocks. Do not store gasoline for the generator indoors.
