1. Make a Family Emergency Plan: Identify a safe space in your home and ensure everyone knows what to do during severe weather. Practice drills so your family is ready.
2. Build a Ready Kit: Include water, non-perishable food, medications, flashlights, batteries, and a NOAA weather radio. Power outages are common during severe storms—plan for at least 72 hours without electricity.
3. Stay Informed: Sign up for local alerts, keep a weather app handy, and have multiple ways to receive warnings. A battery-powered weather radio is essential if cell service fails. Do not rely or weather sirens for warnings.
4. Prepare for Power Needs: Charge devices ahead of storms. If you rely on medical equipment, consider a backup power source or relocation plan.
