...Severe Weather Awareness Week in Arkansas Begins Today...
The National Weather Service, in cooperation with the Arkansas
Department of Emergency Management, has proclaimed the week of
February 24th through March 2nd as Severe Weather Awareness Week
in Arkansas.
Citizens are urged to use this week to understand the hazards of
severe weather, and to review the safety rules which they can use
to protect themselves when severe weather occurs.
A particular subject will be discussed each day.
Monday...Flooding
Tuesday...Lightning
Wednesday...Tornadoes
Thursday...Severe Thunderstorms
Friday...Watches and Warnings
Saturday...Social Media Communication
During Severe Weather Awareness Week, the National Weather Service
is asking people to think about where they would go when severe
weather threatens. So, if a Tornado Warning was issued, people
should know where to go for safety without hesitation.
In general, the safest place is a building on a permanent foundation
on the lowest floor in an interior room. The idea is to put as many
walls between yourself and the outdoors.
