Weather Alert

...AIR QUALITY ALERT IN EFFECT FROM MIDNIGHT TONIGHT TO MIDNIGHT CDT
TUESDAY NIGHT...

The Indiana Department of Environmental Management has called for an
Air Quality Action Day for high levels of Ozone in the air for
Tuesday, May 30, for the following Southwest Indiana counties,

Vanderburgh, Posey, Warrick, Spencer, Gibson, and Pike.

This alert is in effect from midnight tonight to midnight CDT
Tuesday night.

An Air Quality Action Day for ozone is issued when a combination of
high temperatures, light winds and other factors are expected to
produce conditions where high levels of ozone emissions may exceed
federally mandated standards.

Here are some recommended actions that the public can take to reduce
Ozone emissions:

* Walk, bike, carpool, or use public transportation
* Avoid using the drive-through and combine errands into one
trip
* Avoid refueling your vehicle or using gasoline-powered lawn
equipment until after 7 pm
* Turn off your engine when idling for more than 30 seconds
* Conserve energy by turning off lights or setting the air
conditioner to 75 degrees or above.

Anyone sensitive to changes in air quality may be affected when
Ozone levels are high. Children, the elderly, and anyone with heart
or lung conditions should reduce or avoid exertion and heavy work
outdoors.

EVANSVILLE, Ind. (WEVV) — For months, complaints about looting at the site of a former warehouse that was destroyed by fire have been pouring in

Now, Evansville police are doing something they hope will stop it.

The Guardian is now parked at the Morton Avenue site.

This is the warehouse just North of the Lloyd Expressway that ignited in October of last year.

EPD says the guardian has state of the art, 360 degree cameras, that record activity 24/7.

The tool used by Evansville Police to deter crime will now monitor the Morton Warehouse demolition site.

"You've got the whole crime of stealing, but on top of that it's just not safe," says Sgt. Anna Gray, Evansville Police Department. "I think that was the biggest complaint we were getting from this area."

Anyone in the community can make a request for the Guardian under certain criteria.

To make a request, all you have to do is contact the EPD Crime Prevention Office.
