Severe Weather Safety Tips 

 

With severe storms possible starting this afternoon and into tonight, we encourage you to be Weather Ready and have multiple ways to receive warnings! Make a plan this morning and know where to seek shelter if a Severe Thunderstorm Warning or Tornado Warning is issued for your home, apartment, or workplace later today! Taking action early can help save lives! 

 

 

A tornado WATCH means BE PREPARED. A tornado WARNING means TAKE ACTION. If there is a tornado watch, pay extra close attention to the weather and be ready to act, because tornadoes are possible. If there is a tornado warning, find shelter immediately, and move to an interior room on the lowest floor of a sturdy building. Avoid windows and cover your head to protect yourself from flying debris.

 

Learn what to do, and what not to do, when it comes to lightning.

 

It is extremely important to have a disaster supply kit ready before severe weather strikes!
