A WATCH means conditions are favorable for severe weather. Stay alert—be prepared, not scared. KNOW WHERE TO GO!

Tips for a WATCH:

✔️ Stay weather-aware—monitor alerts – WashU Safe App, NOAA Weather Radio, TV, or trusted apps

✔️ Review your emergency plan and check your emergency kit

✔️ Identify your severe weather refuge area now: lowest level, interior room, away from windows

✔️ Be ready to take action immediately if a WARNING is issued

⚠️ Remember: A WATCH = Be Prepared. A WARNING = Take Action.
