The “watch” level means that conditions are threatening to the safety of the public. Only essential travel is recommended, such as to and from work or in emergency situations. A “warning” level means that travel is restricted to emergency management workers only. Travelers are restricted to refrain from all travel and to cooperate with public officials and disaster services forces in executing emergency operation plans.
