#Brrr it’s cold out there!!!
Extreme cold increases the risk of frostbite and hypothermia. Dress in layers, limit time outdoors for people and pets. Check on older adults and neighbors during severe winter weather.

This contest is one of my favorite events, too!!
School administrators, teachers, and parents of K-8 graders are encouraged work with students to create artwork that will share severe weather safety and preparedness tips.

This contest is one of my favorite events. I enjoy looking at the artwork and wonder what the students are thinking about as they make these tremendous posters.
Be sure your students in K-8 are entered! I'd love to see their creativity!

My hubby recently bought a record player - so I pulled out my albums. I bought the #IronButterfly Live album for $1 when I was 9 yrs. Do you know how hard it was to get a dollar saved up back then? I bought it for only one song that took up all of side two - #Inagaddadavida

With the Ohio River expected to hit 60', @odot_cincinnati crews are installing the flood gates in the Riverfront Transit Center in downtown Cincinnati. These gates also keep floodwaters off Fort Washington Way.

[6:35 AM] Remember to have at least three (3) ways to receive crucial weather information, including warnings. Also think about how you might be awoken if severe weather threats while you sleep! And remember, outdoor warning sirens are only meant to be heard *outdoors*.
ALT Graphic shows multiple ways to receive warnings and weather information.

Preparedness Tip:
Have multiple ways to receive emergency communications that will wake you up at night. Severe storms and tornadoes can be more dangerous during the dark of night.
