Preparing for a Storm
Strong gusts of wind? Dark, fast moving clouds? Downpour of rain? These are a few warning signs that a storm is headed in your direction. Here are a few helpful tips on what you can do to prepare for a storm:
- check the forecast- know what to expect
- watch for signs of approaching storm- clouds, wind, rain, etc.
- check on neighbors who require special assistance - ensure they are in a safe zone and ensure they are prepared
- have flashlights and batteries on hand
- have a battery-operated radio
- have a first aid kit
- get manual can opener and canned foods
- stay away from windows and doors
