Amelia County Emergency Management

03/16/2026

Remain weather-aware today by listening to local news or a weather radio as the weather may change rapidly.

If you are in a tornado warning, go to the basement or an interior room away from windows. Do not go to large open rooms.

Outside? Seek shelter inside immediately if a tornado is approaching. Sheds are not safe.

In a vehicle? Drive to the closest shelter. If you are unable, get down in your car and cover your head, or abandon your car and seek shelter in a low lying area such as a ditch.
