City Monitoring Potential for Severe Weather; Tonight's Community Conversation at Hardesty Regional Library Canceled

11/2/2026

The City of Tulsa is prepared for the potential of severe weather, with the City's Department of Emergency Management ready and on standby to monitor forecasts and conditions.

Due to the severe weather potential, Mayor Nichols has canceled tonight's Public Safety Community Conversation at Hardesty Regional Library out of an abundance of caution.

While the severe weather risk is slightly elevated, Tulsans should monitor forecasts and have a plan should conditions warrant.

To stay informed:

• Monitor local weather forecasts and alerts.
• Have multiple ways to receive weather warnings, including an NOAA weather radio and/or a weather alert app/notification on your mobile device.
• Know your safe place. Identify a designated shelter location in your home, preferably a basement or an interior room on the lowest floor, away from windows.
• Have a plan. Make sure everyone in your household knows where to go and how to communicate if severe weather develops.
• Be prepared.  Keep a basic emergency kit nearby with flashlights, batteries, medications, water, and other essential supplies - along with a charged cell phone.
• Take warnings seriously. If a tornado warning is issued for your area, seek shelter immediately.
