WEATHER UPDATES
It’s important to stay informed about ongoing weather conditions. Here are some important weather safety tips.
- Pay attention to current weather conditions through local radio and television reports.
- During high-wind events, basements, closets and bathrooms are great places to stay. Avoid windows and doors that lead outside. In a wind emergency, you can also take shelter in a bathtub covered with plywood or similar materials.
- Stay inside until there’s no doubt that the event is over.
- Find another safe home or shelter if your home is flooded or emergency personnel recommend doing so.
