Tornado Disaster Preparedness
Tornadoes can form with little warning and cause severe damage in a matter of minutes. Knowing where to go, what to have on hand, and how to respond after a storm can help keep your family safe and speed up recovery.
Before a Tornado
- Prepare an emergency kit and make a family communications plan.
- Listen to NOAA Weather Radio, commercial radio, or television newscasts. Heed instructions given by local emergency management officials.
- Be alert to changing weather conditions and watch for approaching storms.
