Severe Weather and Tornado Alerts
-
Tornado warnings are issued by the National Weather Service and the
Romeoville Emergency Management Agency when severe weather is imminent.
-
Once the warning is issued, move to a designated severe weather refuge
area as indicated on the evacuation/refuge plans in each building/room.
-
Stay away from windows and doors and sit or lie on the floor
with arms folded over your head.
-
If outside, take shelter in the nearest building or a ditch/depression.
A vehicle is not suitable for shelter. Do not attempt to run from
a tornado.
- If the building is severely damaged, evacuate as soon as possible after the storm has passed.
