The vast majority of violent crime occurs in North Omaha, roughly defined as the area north of Lake St and east of 42nd St. Exercise a bit of additional caution when in this area after dark.

Omaha [M] is in tornado alley, so severe weather can erupt between the months of April and August with the primary threats of hail, high wind and street flooding with tornadoes sometimes being a threat. Tornado alert sirens are located throughout the city (Note: at 11 A.M. on the first Wednesday of the month, the sirens are tested. If in doubt, ask a resident.) Local stations KETV Channel 7 (ABC), WOWT Channel 6(NBC) and KMTV Channel 3(CBS) break into programming if a severe weather event is in progress. Radio services 1110AM KFAB and 590AM also provide severe weather coverage. Be aware that Omaha resides within Douglas County in the state of Nebraska [S], as meteorologists often point out warnings this way.

During winter months, Omaha [M] often sees cold temperatures as well as snow/ice events. Be aware that steep hills do exist within the city, and precaution should be taken during slick driving conditions.
