VILLAGE OF MEAD STORM
WARNING PROCEDURES
In case of severe weather, the fire siren will be sounded and go up and
down a few times This is only to alert
members of the Fire Department to be on the watch It is also a good idea to keep tuned to a
local channel/radio station if we are in a watch area. Many residents can receive updates via their
cell phones from local television or
radio stations.
If a funnel is actually spotted, the firemen will sound a steady blast
on the siren. This is your signal to
take cover at once. For those
residents or businesses without
basements go to the Alma Lutheran Church basement, 219 W. Fifth Street. The doors are opened during a storm warning.
All-Terrain
Vehicles, Utility-type Vehicles and Golf Car Vehicles are
required to be licensed within the Village of Mead. Contact the Village Office to obtain or renew
your permit by APRIL 1. The permits are good for 1
year.
Not
permitted: Motorbikes, Mopeds, Scooters,
dirt bikes, and go carts!
