Driving by Adams Lake and seeing it Flood.

Weather can go from being Calm to Severe instantly for most of us.  Are You Ready?

Where you and your family shelter during a storm is a crucial factor in staying safe. Ideally your home already has at least one location to shelter at, so it's time to focus on safeguarding your family while it's in full force. The safest place to be is indoors but if you are outdoors during a severe storm, AVOID exterior walls and get to shelter as soon as it is safe to do so. 

Other simple things you can do in a storm situation are:

• Stay clear of windows, doors and openings such as fireplaces.
• Take shelter in your designated room, a bathroom or basement is recommended and protect your head with a cushion or mattress.  If possible, crouch beneath heavy furniture. 
• Continue to tune in to local weather broadcasts for updates and advice.
