Happy Fall Severe Weather Preparedness Week!
We’ve got lots of great safety info ready to share with you. Follow along with us this week to pick up some great tips. #Safety
• First up - Receiving Warnings
Don’t just rely on your local TV meteorologist to provide you with severe weather warnings. They may be super reliable but your electricity isn’t. Make sure you have at least 2 ways to receive a warning.
Did you know that tornado sirens are meant for OUTDOOR purposes? They’re not meant to be heard indoors. Did you know that sirens are operated by your city/county officials and not by us (NWS)? #TheMoreYouKnow
Make sure you have Emergency Alerts enabled on your smartphone. #ItCouldSaveYourLife
Take time to test your weather radio this week. Make sure it’s working properly and that you can hear the forecast out of it. #ItCouldSaveYourLife
