Environment and Climate Change Canada is forecasting the potential for severe thunderstorms in our area later tonight and into tomorrow, with the possibility of tornado formation Thursday afternoon.

While it's too early to know exactly what conditions Swift Current may experience, now is a good time to take a few simple precautions:

• Secure or bring inside loose outdoor items such as patio furniture, umbrellas, and trampolines
• If possible, move vehicles under cover in case of hail
• Clear leaves and debris from nearby storm drains where it is safe to do so
• Charge mobile devices and have flashlights ready in case of a power outage.
• Monitor local forecasts and be prepared to adjust your plans if conditions change

City crews, including Public Works and Light & Power, are prepared to respond if needed. As we continue cleaning up from Sunday's storm, we appreciate your patience and cooperation.

If severe weather does develop, please avoid unnecessary travel and give emergency responders and City crews the space they need to work safely.

We'll continue to share updates as information becomes available.

Emergency Preparedness Week Tip:

Try a 'what if' dinner conversation: 'What if the power went out right now? What if we heard a SaskAlert tone? What would we do first?' Kids learn best in calm moments — not during the emergency itself.

Keep Preparing!

🌪️ It’s Emergency Preparedness Week! Are you Tornado & Storm Ready?

Severe weather can happen fast. Take a few minutes today to:
✔️ Know your safe place (basement or interior room, away from windows)
✔️ Build or refresh your emergency kit (water, flashlight, batteries, first aid)
✔️ Stay informed with weather alerts and local updates
✔️ Make a family plan so everyone knows what to do

Being prepared isn’t complicated, but it can make all the difference. Stay safe and ready this storm season!
