Don't Let the Weather Ruffle Your Feathers
On average, the National Weather Service issues 400 severe thunderstorm warnings, 17 tornado warnings, and about 150 flash flood warnings each year in New York state. During Severe Weather Awareness Week, we're reminded of the importance of practicing how to take shelter before tornadoes, thunderstorms, or flash floods strike. Severe weather can come with little or no warning, and cause serious injury, damage, and disruptions. While you can't control the weather, you can plan ahead so that you're not caught off guard.
This blog and its author are in no (formal) way connected with the New York City Office of Emergency Management. The content has been pasted from the OEM "Tip of the Week" that can be subscribed to via the page http://www.nyc.gov/oemnews.
(This blog was created as an easy way for me to generate an RSS feed with the history of the tips, since I didn't see that anywhere on NYC.gov.)
September 2009 to June 2012, then occasionally: Also included FEMA "Tip of the Week" messages as they came through. I am not connected to FEMA or DHS in any way, either.
