The best way to stay safe during a tornado is to be prepared with:
🌪 Fresh batteries and a battery-operated TV, radio, or internet-enabled device to listen to the latest emergency weather information;
🌪 A tornado emergency plan including access to a safe shelter for yourself, your family, and for people with special needs;
🌪 An emergency kit (including water, non-perishable food, and medication); and
🌪 A list of important information, including telephone numbers.
Be sure your children know what a tornado is, what tornado watches and warnings are, what county [/parish] they live in (warnings are typically issued by county [/parish), and what makes a location a safe shelter, whether at home or at school.
