The Cooper County EMA along with the National Weather Service is hosting Severe Weather Preparedness Week March 1-5, 2021.
Monday, March 1st is dedicated to Receiving Weather Information and Making a Plan. Everyone should have a reliable way to receive weather information during watches and warnings. Remember outdoor warning sirens are only good when you are outside and should not be your only means of receiving information. Weather alert radios and apps on your cell phones are a great start. In Cooper County you can sign up for our Nixle Alert System. You can do this by texting to 888-777 and enter your Cooper County Zip Code. you will receive a text directing you to the Nixle web site where you can add your information and email. There is a link above this post to take you directly to their web site and you can register there. It is a good idea to stay weather alert at all times. Follow local Radio and TV stations for up to the minute information on local weather.
Tuesday March 2nd at 10:00am is the State Wide Tornado Drill. In Cooper County we will also conduct another drill at 7:00pm. The second drill is for companies with a second shift to practice and is a great time to exercise your home tornado plan. Information on making a plan can be found on the National Weather Service web site at www.weather.gov.
Wednesday March 3rd is Lightning Awareness Day. Lightning can occur during severe weather. Lightning kills many individuals every year. If you can hear thunder you are within range to be struck by lightning.
A good rule is: IF YOU HEAR THUNDER ROAR, GO INDOORS!
Thursday, March 4th is Hail/Wind Awareness Day. Hail a dime size and larger can cause damage to vehicles and structure. Roofs may be damaged and window could break. Large hail can cause serious injuries or death. During hail storms stay away from windows and doors. Get inside a sturdy structure. Hail can also be associated with Tornados. This usually occurs just prior to a Tornado.
Strong winds occur with many thunder storms. Strong winds can cause major structural damage. They can also blow unsecured objects causing injuries and even deaths. Tree damage can occur during these events and falling trees and limbs can cause structural, vehicle damage, injuries and/or death.
Friday, March 5th is Flooding Awareness Day: Flooding can occur during heavy rains and is the leading cause of weather related deaths. Six inches of fast moving water can sweep you off your feet and 12 inches of moving water can sweep vehicles away. TURN AROUND, DON'T DROWN
