EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS 

Severe weather can happen at anytime. The Village of Lakemoor wants you to be prepared for bad weather and provides the following information and links to help you and your family in preparing for emergencies. 

OUTDOOR WARNING SIRENS

The primary purpose of outdoor  emergency sirens
is to; 1) alert people who are outside of severe weather, and 2) to warn people outdoors to take shelter. The system is not designed to provide notification to people inside their homes or businesses. 


WIRELESS EMERGENCY ALERTS

Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA) are very short (<90 characters) emergency messages sent by authorized government alerting authorities. WEA are sent through your mobile carrier and will look like a text message. The WEA message will show the type and time of the alert, any action you should take, and the agency issuing the alert. They are designed to get your attention in a critical situation, but may not give all the details you receive from other notification services. With WEA, warnings can be sent to your mobile device when you may be in harm's way, without the need to download an app or subscribe to a service. You are not charged for WEA messages. WEA may include:
  • Extreme weather, and other threatening emergencies in your area
  • AMBER alerts
  • Presidential alerts during a national emergency

MOBILE APPLICATION 

There are numerous smart phones mobile applications that can assist you in preparing and responding to an emergency incident. Apps from FEMA, Red Cross, WeatherBug, AccuWeather and many others can provide you with emergency information on your Android and iOS devices. While convenient, an app should not be your single source for emergency information. Apps require a data network to operate and in times of emergency, data networks may become congested or fail completely. This can cause delays in app function and delivery of alerts.

NOAA WEATHER RADIO ALL-HAZARD

  NOAA Weather Radio All Hazards (NWR) is a nationwide network of radio stations broadcasting continuous weather information from the nearest National Weather Service office. NWR broadcasts official warnings, watches, forecasts and other hazard information 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It also broadcasts alerts of non-weather emergencies such as national security, natural, environmental, and public safety. NWR requires a special radio receiver or scanner capable of picking up the signal. These weather radios are available at the Lakemoor Walgreen's and other major retailers.
