Tornado Preparation

Plan ahead. Be sure everyone in your household knows where to go and what to do in case of a tornado.

Know the safest location for shelter in your home, workplace, and school. Load-bearing walls near the center of the basement or lowest level provide the greatest protection.

Know the location of designated shelter areas in local public facilities, such as schools, shopping centers, and other public buildings.

Have emergency supplies on hand, including a battery-operated NOAA Weather Radio, flashlight, and a supply of fresh batteries, first-aid kit, water, and cell phone. Keep a three-day supply of food on hand. Keep food in your supply kit that doesn’t require refrigeration.

Sign up to receive text or e-mail alerts from your local media or download the American Red Cross Tornado App.

Tornado Watch vs Tornado Warning

A Tornado Watch is declared when conditions exist that could result in a tornado forming.

A Tornado Warning is issued when there has been a tornado sighting or a tornado has been spotted on radar.

What to do when a Tornado Warning is issued for your area:

Quickly move to shelter in the basement or lowest floor of a permanent structure. In homes and small buildings, go to the basement and get under something sturdy, like a workbench or stairwell.

If a basement is not available, go to an interior part of the home on the lowest level. A good rule of thumb is to put as many walls between you and the tornado as possible.

In schools, hospitals, and public places, move to the designated shelter areas. Interior hallways on the lowest floors are best. Stay away from windows, doors, and outside walls. Broken glass and wind-blown projectiles cause more injuries and deaths than collapsed buildings. Protect your head with a pillow, blanket, or mattress.

If you are caught outdoors, a sturdy shelter is the only safe location in a tornado. If you are boating or swimming, get to land and seek shelter immediately.

Burning Permits

To Flush or Not To Flush?

Many customers have the mindset that they want to flush wipes and other paper/cloth items to get the germs out of the house, but these items are not designed to break up in the wastewater. By design, toilet paper is made to break down when it’s flushed. By the time it reaches the treatment plant, it has completely disintegrated into very fine parts that do not affect pumps and other operations at the treatment facility. Now is not the time to flush anything other than toilet paper, even if the package says it’s flushable, please do not flush. Even these “so-called” flushable wipes or disinfectant cleaning cloths can bind with fats, oils and grease and wreak havoc at a nearby lift-station or even your own home’s plumbing.

If a backup occurs inside the homeowner’s house or in pipes on private property, it is the owner’s responsibility for fixing and paying for any cleaning or damages. Also, from a community and public health perspective, it is critical that wastewater treatment plants continue to operate properly so they can disinfect sewage and avoid untreated discharges. Utilities across the country are trying to stress to their customers the message of the “3 Ps” meaning only flush pee, poop, and toilet paper. The wastewater industry has long considered toilet paper as the benchmark for any product that is labeled as “flushable”, since toilet paper is flushed constantly and utilities do not see it causing problems.

Please remember just because you CAN, doesn’t mean you SHOULD!

These items should not be flushed:

• Paper Towels • All-purpose cleaning wipes (even if packaging says flushable) • Facial Tissues • Baby or personal hygiene wipes • Disposable diaper liners • Cotton Swabs • Feminine Hygiene Products • Napkins • Cat Litter • Fats, Oils, and Grease • Food Scraps

So, the next time you go to do the convenient thing and flush that product, help out your sewer utility and ask yourself, is this really “flushable”? Is it one of the three Ps? If the answer is no, please don’t flush it. Find another way to properly dispose the items or product.
