We are expecting very severe weather this evening! Be prepared as with the intensity can cause similar damage as the storm a few years ago!

Some things to prepare for;
-Power outages
-Flooding
-Heavy damage to homes and vehicles
-Cold temperatures to follow

Be sure to;
-Charge cellular devices and back up power banks
-Ensure you have flashlights charged or have extra batteries available
-Place all patio furniture inside, as this storm could easily take it elsewhere
-Have extra fuel available for generators if you have one

We will be readily available to assist with emergencies! Our dispatchers I’m sure are going to be very busy with this and all the calls that come in. Remember to use the non-emergent line for calls that are NOT emergencies and to use 911 for calls that present immediate threat to life! Due to the possibility of the influx of calls and nature being nature, we will respond accordingly and do our very best to get to you ASAP! Everyone please stay safe during this weather event!
