If you've watched the news lately you've seen all the devistaion that has occured in Missori from tornado damage. Living in North Texas we all have the potential to see this kind of severe weather and we all have the responsibilty to plan for if something such as this were to occur. What can you do to prepare? Here are some ideas.
1. Sign up for emergency alerts via text. If a power outage were to occur you could recieve the most current weather and emergency information. Check out http://www.nixle.com/ or the National Weather Service for more information.
2. Have a plan in place. Practice with your family what to do if a tornado warning occurs so everyone knows the safest spot in your home. Instruct all family members to stay inside during severe weather. During a tornado is not a time to be filming a YouTube video! Common sense is a must!
3. Have emergency supplies in your safe area and easily accessible. Check batteries on flashlights and weather radios frequently. Have blankets, food and water, and a first aid kit available.
4. List emergency phone numbers
I would be glad to help anyone with planning for severe weather.
