Winter Weather

Although rare in Utah, tornadoes can happen anytime and anywhere. Make sure emergency alerts are enabled on your smart phone. Apps, the internet, radio, and TV are other ways to stay up to date with emergency information. Be prepared to stay sheltered in place with an emergency kit and emergency and communication plans. Locate a safe place to shelter in case of a tornado. Practice drills ahead of time. In a tornado, cover your head and neck with your arms. Put furniture and blankets on top of you for further protection. Do not try to outrun tornadoes in a vehicle. Continue to pay attention to and follow emergency alerts after a tornado hits. If emergency care is needed, stay sheltered in place, contact your medical provider for further instructions. Follow safety guidelines when cleaning up after a storm.
