Marietta northwest of Atlanta is home to Lockheed Martin's largest facility which manufactures the F-22 Raptor and C-130 Hercules aircraft — critical national defense aerospace infrastructure. The city faces moderate tornado risk and flash flooding. The March 2020 tornado that struck the Atlanta metro caused damage in Cobb County. Dobbins Air Reserve Base adjacent to Marietta adds military aviation emergency considerations.
