Preparations In case A Storm Happens

The first step is to create a disaster plan.  Make sure everyone in your family knows what to do when a severe storm hits and where to meet if you should get separated from one another.  Have an emergency kit, including a first aid kit.  Some basic supplies to have on hand include, battery-powered flashlight, canned goods, bottled water, candles and a battery-powered radio.

There are some simple precautions you can take in almost any situation.  If there’s a concern about flooding, wind or lightning, you can:

• Clean your gutters

• Keep tree limbs trimmed

•Be aware of weather forecasts and patterns

• Secure loose patio furniture

• Seek shelter in a basement or interior room away from windows

The Aftermath
