Severe Thunderstorms

It is the familiarity of these events that makes them dangerous. Lightning and large hail resulting from these storms has caused extensive damage and injury. The paths of these events are closely tracked by the National Weather Service which issues specific warnings to those located in their anticipated trajectory. People located outdoors may not take cover unless made aware of a credible and impending threat.

A LAWS unit, programmed to broadcast these events, will provide advanced warning and detailed instructions as to the path and severity of these storms. Citizens can then take appropriate precautions to minimize injury or damage to property.
