Economic Injury Disaster Loan Program Fact Sheet

Spring is here and with that comes the potential for severe weather such as thunderstorms, tornadoes, high winds, and flooding.  In preparation for severe weather, Clermont County residents are encouraged to:

Get informed about the different hazards that could occur in your community and have multiple ways of receiving alerts and warnings (e.g. NOAA All-Hazard Radio, personal weather notifications, local media outlets, internet sites, outdoor warning sirens, etc.)

Create a family emergency plan. You and your loved ones may not be together when a disaster strikes, so it is important to plan in advance. Develop a plan on how you will communicate with one another, how and where you will reconnect, and what you will do in each type of emergency.

Build an emergency supply kit. Following a disaster, it may take time for power to be restored and emergency workers to reach your community. It is important to have an emergency supply kit with food, water, and other necessary supplies to last a minimum of three days.

Clermont County tests the outdoor warning sirens on the first Wednesday of each month at 12:00 p.m. To learn more about the County outdoor warning sirens go to: https://ema.clermontcountyohio.gov/outdoor-weather-sirens/
