| Plan ahead to stay safe during severe weather events.
Know where your family and friends are located and how to reach them in an emergency.
Keep your phones fully charged to maintain communication throughout the event.
Discuss and decide with your loved ones what actions to take and where to seek shelter if you are caught in a severe storm or tornado.
Store enough bottled water and non-perishable food to last your household one to three days in case you lose power.
Have extra batteries for flashlights and consider keeping portable battery packs available to ensure your phones remain charged while waiting for power restoration.
Remove or secure any loose items in your yard before the storm begins. Only put trash out after the storms have passed to prevent debris and hazards.
Remain especially alert to weather updates tomorrow, particularly between 12 p.m. and 8 p.m., with the highest risk between 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. While some areas may not be affected, many will experience severe weather. Take these precautions seriously and do not take unnecessary risks. |
