Greetings Ward 11,

I wanted to be sure you've seen communications being shared by the City and other partners in the community about the risk for severe weather in Minneapolis tomorrow, Monday, April 28th. It is unusually high – a level 4 of 5. Tornadoes, large hail, damaging winds, and frequent lightning are likely.  The greatest threat will be in the late afternoon and early evening Monday, April 28.   

Storm preparedness tips for residents:  

• Ensure you have multiple ways to receive alerts.   

• If alerts are issued, be ready to take immediate shelter in a basement or interior room on the lowest level.  

• Secure outdoor furniture and décor in preparation for strong winds.  

• Clear leaves and debris from in front of catch basins to ensure water can get to the drain. 

• Prepare for potential power outages. Charge devices and have a flashlight on hand.  

Sign up for Minneapolis emergency alerts. Text MPLSAlerts to 77295 or go to minneapolismn.gov/alerts. More info at minneapolismn.gov.
