Preparing for Tornado Season

Tornadoes can be extremely destructive, so it’s important to be prepared. The best way to stay safe is to be aware of the signs of a tornado and have a plan in place before one strikes. Here are some steps you should take in order to prepare your family and home for tornado season.

Know the Signs of an Oncoming Tornado
The first step in preparing for a tornado is to know what to look out for. A few signs that a tornado may be coming include dark, often greenish skies; large hail; large and dark clouds; loud roar or rumble; and whirling debris near the ground. If you spot any of these signs, seek shelter immediately.

Create an Emergency Kit
The next step is to create an emergency kit with all the supplies you might need during a tornado watch or warning. This should include items such as non-perishable food, bottled water, flashlights, batteries, first-aid kits, blankets, and any medications you may need. Make sure everyone in your family knows where this kit is located in case they need it during an emergency situation.

Plan Ahead
It’s also important to plan ahead by developing an evacuation plan with your family members and having multiple routes ready if needed. Make sure everyone knows where they should go if you need to evacuate and how long it will take them to get there. Designate someone who lives outside the area as a contact person so that everyone has someone they can reach out to if needed during an emergency situation. Additionally, practice drills with your family so that everyone knows how to respond quickly if a tornado hits your area.

Tornado season is here! By taking the proactive steps outlined above—knowing the signs of an oncoming tornado, creating an emergency kit, and planning ahead—you can protect yourself and your family when severe weather strikes. Being prepared could make all the difference when it comes time for you to face a dangerous storm head-on! Do yourself a favor now and get ready for whatever Mother Nature throws at you this season!
