From ADPH: With Severe Weather Forecast in Alabama, Make Plan Now to Keep Family Safe

From Alabama Public Health

Significant and widespread severe weather is forecasted for our area starting Sunday into early Monday. Making a plan now can keep you and your family safe. Contact your county EMA to find a shelter near you.

ADPH recommends that citizens’ first priority should be to protect themselves from a potential tornado. If a warning is issued in your area, you are more likely to be affected by the tornado than the virus. Thus, people should heed warnings and take shelter.

Decisions made to open shelters are made at the local and county level due to weather threats. The shelter and persons can take as many precautions within the shelter as possible to enhance social distancing and promote respiratory hygiene.
