🚨Attention Parents 🚨
Effective immediatley, the DCSO will be issuing citations to parents of juveniles who are caught riding illegal vehicles recklessly on public roadways.
"Since school got out, we have been inundated with calls, emails, requests, and complaints, from across the county about juveniles riding illegal motorized vehicles in an unsafe manner. We have pushed public messaging explaining what vehicles are legal to drive and where, asked for compliance, and given numerous warnings to parents after their children are caught, yet some parents allow this behavior to continue. This must stop before a child is seriously injured or killed." ~Sheriff Aaron Hanson

⚠️Weather Watch⚠️
Douglas County, continue to be on alert for severe this afternoon through tonight. Currently, most of Douglas County is projected to be at an enhanced risk of severe weather events beginning at 2 pm and extending through 11 pm. This weather is projected to include 2-4 inch hail, damaging winds, and possible tornadic activity.
Tornado risk can often be forecast ahead of time; however, tornados themselves can develop fast and with little warning. It is always a good idea to have a plan ahead of time, in case a tornado strikes.
◾Know where you can safely shelter. Preferably in a basement or interior room without windows.
◾Be aware of how our community provides warnings. I.E. sirens, social media, news media, weather radios, and mobile notifications.
◾Have a list of emergency contacts in case a tornado strikes near you.
As always, make sure to follow @NWSOmaha or other local news outlets for accurate and up to date information as conditions can change rapidly.
