During severe weather such as a tornado, we ask you to come to Memorial Health Southwest for a medical emergency only. We will continue care for those who need it and be ready to care for anyone affected by the weather.

Sheltering in place and avoiding travel is the safest action to take in a tornado.

Remember to D.U.C.K.
Down in the lowest level of your home or building
Under something sturdy
Center of the building
Keep away from windows
