94.3 the Wolf Country That'll Make You Howl!
Local and state officials are encouraging Kentuckians to review their severe weather readiness during Severe Weather Awareness Week, which runs now through March 7.
Radcliff Deputy Fire Marshal Tommy Crane says one of the first things to remember with severe weather is to stay alert.
“One of the best things we have now is weather apps where you can get the weather alerts,” Crane said. “Most of our cell phones now are already pre-programmed with weather alerts on them. Another thing to think about is having a reliable weather radio. Most of those also have a battery backup and they plug in, and you can program it just for your county or your area.”
Those methods are the primary way to alert you to severe weather when you are indoors.
“The sirens that we hear, they’re mainly for outdoor use, so you may or may not be able to hear them in your home,” Crane said. “If you don’t hear them in your home, don’t panic, because they are primarily for people that are outdoors.”
Know the difference between a watch and a warning.
“If a watch is issued, it basically means to be prepared,” Crane said. “The atmospheric conditions are right for the severe weather. It doesn’t necessarily say that there’s something going to happen, but just to be prepared in case something does happen. A warning is when you need to take action. Severe weather is confirmed by either weather spotters or by radar in our area.”
As part of Severe Weather Awareness Week, the annual statewide tornado drill will be conducted Wednesday, March 4 at 10:07 a.m. Eastern/9:07 a.m. Central. Visit the National Weather Service in Louisville’s website for more information.
