Severe Thunderstorm Watch
This means that atmospheric conditions exist that
could produce severe weather such as lightning,
high winds, heavy rains, sleet, and hail.
Severe Thunderstorm Warning
This means that severe weather associated with
thunderstorms is occurring such as high winds,
lightning, hail, and sleet and flooding.
Tornado Watch
Atmospheric conditions exist that could permit
the creation of a tornado.
Tornado Warning
A tornado warning means that a tornado has
been sighted or detected on radar.
Tornados often, but not always, occur in
conjunction with a severe thunderstorm.
Early Warning Preparation Suggestions
One of the most important things you can do to
prevent being injured in a tornado is to be alert
to the onset of severe weather. Most deaths and
injuries happen to people who are unaware and
uninformed.
Be aware of changing weather conditions and
weather forecasts. Listen to local radio and
television stations.
Purchase a NOAA weather radio. Weather radios
have an alert tone that activates when watches or
threatening weather approaches. This will alert
you and your family to changing conditions and
wake you as you sleep.
Please take the time to discuss your family
emergency action plan with your youth in the
event of an emergency. This should include
when to shelter, where to shelter, where to meet
after an event and who to contact if you become
separated or unable to locate family members.

Multiple resources should be monitored as well
as personal observations used to seek shelter.
Persons should seek immediate shelter when
conditions are observed or reliable sources
indicated that a weather event may occur that
may be a threat to you or your family.
Disaster Kit
Please take the time to assemble a disaster kit
to assist you and your family before and after
a disaster. Here are some items suggested by
FEMA to include:
• A flashlight with spare batteries
• A portable battery-operated radio and spare
batteries
• A first aid kit with any medications needed for
family members.
• Emergency food and water.
• Manual can opener
• Sturdy Shoes and one change of clothes
