Seasonal Safety Reminders
Residents are encouraged to be prepared for all types of severe weather by following these important safety procedures:
- Know the Risk — Learn and understand the different types of weather hazards facing Franklin County. Find the top hazards.
- Know the Weather Terms — Know the difference between a watch and a warning. A tornado watch is issued when conditions are favorable for the development of a tornado in and close to the area. A tornado warning is issued when a tornado has been detected by radar or sighted by storm spotters.
- Have a Plan — Develop and practice an emergency plan with your family and include your pets. Know how you will communicate and have a designated safe meeting place.
- Build a Kit — Build an emergency supply kit. Be sure to include enough food, water and other supplies in sufficient quantity for each member of your household to last for at least 72 hours.
Double the Awareness in Emergencies
What to Download to Prepare
To enhance citizen awareness during emergencies, Dublin residents are encouraged to sign up for the ALERT Franklin County mass notification and warning system and Dublin’s Smart911 community notification system.
Dublin’s newest emergency communications tool, Smart911, provides localized alerts specific to Dublin. Smart911 enables residents to sign up for severe weather alerts that are automated and sent to registrants immediately after the National Weather Service issues a severe weather warning for the Dublin area. Residents can also opt-in to receive Dublin community announcements.
ALERT Franklin County enables officials to provide critical information directly to residents countywide via text message, phone and e-mail as emergencies happen. Individuals and businesses whose information is listed in the white and yellow pages are already included in the ALERT Franklin County system and will receive emergency notifications through landlines only.
Both systems are customizable so residents can choose what kind of community notifications they want to receive and how they would like to receive them.
