Staying Safe From Storms in Your Home

1/29/2020 (Permalink)

Do you have a safety plan for your family in the event of a severe storm or tornado? Have you practiced your plan at least twice a year? There may be a time when your children may be at home alone.  Do they know what to do and where to go if no adults are present?  This may sound like a lot to prepare for but in the long run it will be well worth the effort, especially in the event of a severe storm.

1. Get as low as possible - completely underground is best.

2. Put as many barriers between you and the outside as possible.

Flying debris is what causes the most harm.

Being underground in a  storm cellar or basement is the best place to be.

A safe room or above-ground tornado shelter can be as good as an underground shelter.

If the above-mentioned safe areas are  not available, choose a small, interior closet; an interior bathroom; a hallway, or under the stairs.

Never leave your home in a vehicle when a tornado threatens.
