🚨 Severe Weather Preparedness – Tuesday, March 10 🚨

The Loami Fire Department would like to remind residents that severe weather is predicted for our area on Tuesday, March 10. Storms may bring strong winds, large hail, heavy rain, and the potential for tornadoes.

Now is a good time to review your severe weather plan and make sure your family is prepared.

Helpful Preparedness Tips:

🌪 Outdoor Warning Sirens
Outdoor sirens are designed to warn people who are outside of dangerous weather such as tornadoes. They may not always be heard indoors, so do not rely on them as your only alert method.

📻 NOAA Weather Radios
A NOAA Weather Radio provides 24/7 weather alerts directly from the National Weather Service and will sound an alarm when warnings are issued for our area.

📱 Multiple Ways to Receive Alerts
Have more than one way to receive warnings, including:
• Weather apps on your phone
• Local news stations
• NOAA Weather Radio
• Wireless Emergency Alerts on your mobile device

🏠 Know Your Safe Place
If a Tornado Warning is issued:
• Go to a basement if available
• If no basement, move to a small interior room on the lowest level of your home
• Stay away from windows

🔦 Prepare an Emergency Kit
Consider having:
• Flashlights and extra batteries
• Phone chargers
• Weather radio
• First aid kit
• Bottled water

⚠️ Stay Weather Aware
Storms can develop quickly. Pay attention to changing weather conditions and alerts throughout the day Tuesday.

The Loami Fire Department will continue to monitor conditions and provide updates if necessary. Please stay safe and prepared.

These trainings are a vital part of keeping our community safe and making sure our first responders are ready when every second counts.

A big thank you to Life Flight crews, our firefighters, police officers, and the community for your cooperation during the park closure.
