CodeRED!

Monday was quite a day for the wind and rain here in Independence, but with summer not even half over, I'm sure less than perfect weather will make another appearance before the leaves turn. So remember to brush up on your severe weather plans and keep informed. If you're not sure how to prepare for tornadoes, floods, or other natural disasters; checkout some of these great resources from www.ready.gov for Severe Weather. And to stay informed in Buchanan County, sign up for CodeRED. (This link takes you directly to the sign up page for Buchanan County) You can also find the link to CodeRED on the Buchanan County Website and the City of Independence Website. If you live outside of Buchanan County, be sure to check your local government websites to sign up for their emergency alert systems.
