Our thoughts are with all Livingston County residents impacted by last night's severe storms. We know many families are facing damage, disruptions, and difficult circumstances as recovery efforts begin.

The Livingston County Health Department is here to support our community during this time. Tdap vaccinations are available for individuals who may have experienced cuts, puncture wounds, or other injuries during storm cleanup and recovery efforts. If you have questions about your vaccination status or need a Tdap shot, please contact our office.

We are also actively coordinating with emergency management, and partners across neighboring counties to help ensure resources are available and that everyone affected receives the care and support they need throughout the recovery process.

As cleanup continues, please use caution around downed power lines, damaged structures, and debris. Check on neighbors, especially older adults and those with access or mobility challenges.

We will continue to share updates and available resources as information becomes available. Together, we will support one another through recovery.

To all Livingston County, please be advised regarding storm damage self-assessments.

Our thoughts and hearts are with everyone impacted by the storms yesterday. Livingston County is working hard to coordinate with partners across counties to ensure everyone is cared for during recovery.

Severe weather can strike fast — make sure you and your family are ready. Here’s what to do before the storm hits:
✅ Make an Emergency Kit:
Water, non‑perishable food, flashlights, batteries, first‑aid supplies, medications, chargers, cash, and important documents in waterproof bags.
🔔 Stay Informed:
Turn on Wireless Emergency Alerts, use a NOAA Weather Radio, and follow your local National Weather Service updates.
🏠 Know Your Safe Places:
• Tornado → Basement or interior room with no windows
• Flooding → Higher ground, never enter floodwater
• Winter storm → Extra blankets, safe heat sources
🔌 Prep Your Home:
Secure outdoor items, trim weak branches, install surge protectors, and know how to shut off utilities.
🚘 Get Your Vehicle Ready:
Keep the tank at least half full and store emergency supplies like blankets, jumper cables, snacks, and a phone charger.
📞 Have a Family Plan:
Decide where to meet, how to communicate, and ensure everyone knows what to do during warnings.
🐾 Don’t Forget Pets:
Pack food, meds, and carriers so they’re safe too.
👉 The best time to prepare is before the weather turns dangerous. Stay alert. Stay ready. Stay safe.
