>> 3 dead, multiple serious injuries from Thursday night’s storms in Logan County
The Logan County Health District advised the following:
Use bottled or boiled water for drinking, and to prepare and cook food
If bottled water is not available, bring water to a full rolling boil for 1 minute (at elevations above 6,500 feet, boil for 3 minutes). After boiling, allow the water to cool before use
Boil tap water even if it is filtered (for example, by a home water filter or a pitcher that filters water)
Do not use water from any appliance connected to your water line, such as ice and water from a refrigerator
Breastfeeding is the best infant feeding option. If you formula feed your child, provide ready-to-use formula, if possible

The health district said they will also offer free well water testing for those affected by the tornadoes on March 18,19, and 20.
