 Hello everyone, I'm Alicia Woodruff and welcome to the Fort Report. Severe weather season is here in North Texas. It means thunderstorms, flash floods and tornadoes. Do you know what to do in case of an emergency? Fort Worth's Emergency Management Team can help make sure you do. Know what to do is a North Central Texas regional public education campaign that offers information to citizens about how they can prepare for the local hazards we have here. So that's everything from tornadoes to terrorism and the more people know about it, the better off they're going to be if something like that happens to them. Fort Worth has an outdoor warning siren which is activated during severe weather or man-made disaster, but what if you don't hear the siren? If you cannot hear those warning sirens indoors, you can still be alerted by subscribing to electronic text messages from the Fort Worth Office of Emergency Management. As soon as we set off the warning sirens, we turn around and send out that same warning in an electronic form to your cell phones or to your home internet. You can sign up at Nixle by going to www.nixle.com or you can simply take your cell phone and text your zip code to 888-777 and that will register that cell phone for the emergency text alerts. Emergency management also helps people with special needs. It's called AHAS, that's Accessible Hazard Alert System, and you can receive the emergency text alerts in American Sign Language, also in Braille, voice, and text. You can get involved by helping neighbors in case of an emergency. That is a citizens' core group where residents can join into these community emergency response teams and be of assistance to their neighbors after disaster strikes. A little preparation can go a long way to help when you're forced to deal with an emergency situation. For more information, visit knowwhattodo.com.
