CLEVELAND, Ohio — Severe weather is on the way, and local officials are getting prepared.
Bryan Kloss, Emergency Operation Center manager for the Cuyahoga County Office of Emergency Management, said severe weather is one of their focus areas.
“So we’re always looking at, what’s the risk? What’s the threat? What are the hazards?” he said.
For this weather event, he said they’re expecting flooding and rain, so that’s what they’re focused on.
“So our process is we’ll obtain the information from the National Weather Service,” he said. “We’ll identify how high our risk is. This weather’s pretty standard for our time in April/May months for this type of weather.”
They coordinate with local emergency services such as fire and police to let them know about the weather ahead of time, offering them tips, tricks and best practices.
On the public side, he said they try to remind people about what to watch. If there’s water on the road, turn around. Don’t attempt to drive through it. Always be cautious of moving water and keep a preparedness kit.
Kloss said people should keep a kit both in their home and in their vehicle. Car kits should include road flares, jumper cables, emergency blankets, water and food, Koss said, along with a communications method.
Kits at home should include enough food, water and medication in case of a power outage. Kloss also said homes below the water line should make sure their sump pumps are working properly and they have a battery backup.
“The other big tip, and it’s not necessarily a failure point on the public, but to just stay informed,” he said. “We always want the public to stay informed and have weather alerts set up on their phone with whatever platform they prefer.”
According to the Ohio EMA, there is the potential for heavy rain, strong wind, hail and even tornadoes.
“These hazards have consequences including flooding, property damage, power outages, injury and even death,” Sandy Mackey with the Ohio EPA said in an email. “Being aware of the hazards that may impact your location is important and can help you prepare and stay safe.”
They said they advise Ohioans to never drive through flooded roads and always look for an alternative route, adding it’s important to know where to go to seek shelter prior to storms. They added it’s important to have multiple ways to receive emergency notifications, whether it’s via radio, text or county-wide mass notification systems.

Here’s an up-to-date list of all NFL Players from Collinwood High School in Cleveland, Ohio.
The list includes only those players who have played in an NFL game.
See where it ranks among other schools in the state here.
The Cleveland Browns ultimately selected two quarterbacks in the NFL Draft last month, nabbing Dillon Gabriel in the third round and circling back around to snatch Shedeur Sanders in Round 5.
Sanders is obviously the bigger name of the two, and the general consensus is that he profiles to be the better NFL signal-caller than Gabriel.
There doesn’t seem to be a ton of hope for Gabriel as a legitimate starter on the professional level, and former NFL general manager Scot McCloughan — who feels that Sanders could be the best quarterback of this year’s draft class — feels that Gabriel will be a lifetime backup.
“I see him as a No. 2 for life. At best,” McCloughan said on 92.3 The Fan. “And in the third round, that’s fine. … I see him as a really good college quarterback. I see him as an average NFL quarterback.”
McCloughan is certainly not alone in that assessment, as many have cited Gabriel’s lack of size and pedestrian arm strength as reasons for why he will not be successful in the pros.
The University of Oregon product — who actually began his collegiate career at Central Florida and also spent two years at Oklahoma — did finish third in Heisman Trophy last season, throwing for 3,857 yards, 30 touchdowns and six interceptions while completing 72.9 percent of his passes, but even with that stat line, most had him pegged as a Day 3 pick, if not going undrafted entirely.
With a crowded Browns quarterback room that also features Joe Flacco and Kenny Pickett, it would probably take a monumental training camp and preseason for Gabriel to earn any sort of significant playing time during his rookie campaign.

CLEVELAND — It’s well known now that the backdrop for the new “Superman” movie is Cleveland, but The Land is getting even more exposure with the film’s new movie poster.
Shortly after the trailer for the movie dropped this week, director James Gunn shared a new poster on X, thanking the city for being part of the film.
The poster features Superman, played by David Corenswet, and his dog, Krypto, overlooking the Cleveland skyline with the Cuyahoga River below.
Last summer, the city was buzzing as the cast and crew filmed the movie throughout the area. Cleveland looked a whole lot like Hollywood as filming ensued, including Superior Avenue turning into Concord Street in Metropolis, where Superman and Lois Lane work at The Daily Planet.
Though, the movie and the poster is almost an ode to the original creators of “Superman.” The character was created by Glenville High School students Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster in the 30s, according to Case Western Reserve University.
The rest of the world can enjoy the film and sights of Cleveland when “Superman” premiers July 11.
