SEVERE WEATHER INFORMATION

  FoxComm is responsible for activating the Fox Lake and Grayslake area sirens

 The sirens are used to alert the public of severe weather that may include tornadoes, and the need to seek shelter immediately.

 Sirens are tested on the first Tuesday of the month at 10:00 am throughout the Lake County Area.

             ·         The sirens may be activated under the following situations:

o        The National Weather Service issues a tornado warning for Lake County .

o        Sighting of a funnel cloud in the community by a trained weather spotter.

o        Upon orders by appropriate public safety personnel.

          ·         Upon activation of the sirens you should seek proper shelter.      The National Weather Service recommends the following:

o        In a home or building move to the basement, if there is no basement, move to an interior room without windows, such as a bathroom or interior closet.

o        Avoid places with wide-span roofs such as auditoriums, cafeterias, large hallways, or shopping malls.

o         While driving get out of your vehicle and seek shelter in a nearby building, if there is not a building available, lie flat in a ditch or low-lying area. Do not seek shelter under a bridge.

 There is not an all-clear siren, so please rely on your radio or TV for updates on the weather situation. AM radio 720 (WGN), 780 (WBBM) or on the Web at www.nws.noaa.gov.  Comcast Cable will also interrupt programming with the emergency cable television override system with alerts regarding severe weather in the area.
