Preparing For a Severe Thunderstorm

Preparing For Severe Weather
One of the most important jobs we have in the ESDA office is to help residents of Montgomery County prepare for and react to severe weather. We work with all law enforcement agencies and ambulance and hospital entities to ensure that when severe weather strikes we will be as prepared as we can be.

We are also in close touch with Montgomery County 9-1-1 whenever storm clouds gather.

To help you prepare for severe weather we are providing the following information. There are many good websites that provide additonal information and those are listed at the bottom of this page.

We are always available to speak to school classes or groups in the county about what we can do to prepare for severe weather. Call us anytime, 532-9560.

Are you ready for a thunderstorm?Here's what you can do to prepare yourself and your family.

Before lightning strikes . . .Keep an eye on the sky. Look for darkening skies, flashes of light, or increasing wind. Listen for the sound of thunder.

If you can hear thunder, you are close enough to the storm to be struck by lightning. Go to safe shelter immediately.

Listen to NOAA Weather Radio, commercial radio, or television for the latest weather forecasts.
