How You Will Know When a Disaster Happens
There are different ways that you will find out that an emergency or disaster is happening. Weather warnings will usually be given on television and radio. A “severe weather watch” means that severe weather might develop. A “severe weather warning” means that severe weather has already developed, and that you should prepare to seek shelter right away.
In other situations, a siren could sound. Emergency workers may drive by and give instructions over a loudspeaker, or they might even come to your door. In the meantime, you should listen to radio or television for further emergency information.
