• March is Severe Weather Preparedness Month

  SPRINGFIELD – Governor Pat Quinn has proclaimed March as Severe Weather Preparedness Month in Illinois and encouraged Illinois citizens to take steps to be better prepared for tornadoes, severe thunderstorms and flooding. During March, the Illinois Emergency Management Agency will join with the National Weather Service and local emergency management agencies to increase awareness of these severe weather hazards.

  “We can’t prevent dangerous storms from occurring, but we can arm ourselves with information, plans and supplies that could save lives during a disaster,” Governor Quinn said.
