Severe Weather Awareness Week is April 7-11
The Iowa Homeland Security and Emergency Management Division and the National Weather Service have declared April 7-11, 2008 as Severe Weather Awareness Week in Iowa. Learn the warning signals used in your community, organize a family emergency plan, consider purchasing a NOAA Weather Radio, and put together an emergency supply kit that includes: a flashlight, battery operated radio, extra batteries, and simple first aid items in a waterproof container. Knowing what to do in advance can help prevent unnecessary panic and confusion when severe weather does strike.
