Violent weather in Illinois can strike at any time. While we obviously can’t control these natural forces we can plan ahead and prepare for them.

As a National Weather Service Storm Ready Site LLCC is committed to safety and storm readiness and offers the following tips:

• Monitor the weather and be aware of watches and warnings
• Have a plan and a survival kit should severe weather strike while you are at home
• Take a minute to familiarize yourself with emergency evacuation routes and safe areas while away from home
