Jefferson County: Severe Weather Alert - Prepare Now

0:00From the Daily News Now Network, this is Corey with Birmingham News Today. Jefferson County Emergency Management Agency is urging residents to prepare for severe weather overnight. Officials have the emergency operations center ready to activate, with Sunday and Monday marked as first warning alert days. These could bring dangerous, even life-threatening conditions, so staying informed is key. High winds up to 70 mph are expected, which could not down trees and power lines. That means potential power outages across the area as the storm mind moves through. Local leaders advise treating any severe thunderstorm warning like a tornado warning. Head to the lowest central part of your home and take basic precautions like wearing a helmet for protection. Once a tornado watch goes into effect, EMA teams will team up with first responders and partners to handle any storm damage. They're focusing on quick response to keep everyone safe. Storm shelters will open right away if a tornado warning is issued.
