Basic Sheltering Rules
We encourage every citizen to Shelter In Place in the event of severe weather. Seek a location within your current location rather than try to get to a remote shelter. Seldom is there enough time to go to a shelter other than the one in your own location.
Don't forget the basic rules for effective sheltering during a tornado or other high-wind event:
- Inside beats outside
- Below ground beats above ground
- Lower floor beats upper floors
- In all instances, place yourself in an interior room with multiple walls between you and the exterior.
We recommend our citizens employ at least three means of hazardous weather notification & information:
- Outdoors - Warning Sirens
- Indoors - NOAA Weather Radio
- Cell Phones - Weather Notification Service
