Weather Watch
vs. Weather Warning
A WEATHER WATCH means a that particular type of weather is possible in the area, because conditions are more favorable than usual for its occurrence. A watch is a recommendation for planning, preparation, and increased awareness (be alert for changing weather, listen for further information, and think about what to do if the danger materializes.)
A WEATHER WARNING means that particular type of weather is imminent or occurring; take immediate action to protect life and property.
How does OEM fit into the overall Emergency Services Plan?
Every municipality and county in the state is required by law to have an approved
emergency management plan. The plan considers all aspects of emergency services.
The Local Emergency Planning Council (LEPC) identifies which hazards endanger
their community and plan accordingly. LEPC's usually consist of traditional
emergency personnel such as police, fire, and EMS, as well as non traditional
emergency personnel such as Health Department, Public Works, Engineering or
Building Department, School board members, Finance personnel etc.
