• Know Your Risk - Know your Lawrence County area’s risk for thunderstorms. In most places they can occur year-round and at any hour.
• Make an Emergency Plan - Create an emergency plan so that you and your New Castle family know what to do, where to go and what you will need to protect yourselves from the effects of a thunderstorm.
