As part of Madison County EMA’s efforts to build a Weather Ready Nation, the goal of Severe Weather Preparedness Week is to better educate our citizens about the hazards of severe thunderstorms and tornadoes, and to help everyone be prepared when severe weather occurs.

We remind everyone to know the difference between a watch and a warning, and the definitions of Severe Thunderstorm Warnings, Tornado Warnings, and Flash Flood Warnings!

Tomorrow when the outdoor warning sirens sound is the time to practice your severe weather plans. The forecast is calling for  beautiful weather tomorrow but should this change we will not activate the sirens.
