Spring weather ⚡🌪🌧 can be all over the place! Here are some key tips to stay prepared for severe storms:
✅ Check Your Insurance – Ensure your home and auto insurance cover storm damage, including hail and wind-related incidents.
✅ Stay Weather-Aware – Keep an eye on the forecast using a reliable weather app, NOAA weather radio, or local news. Enable emergency alerts on your phone.
✅ Create an Emergency Plan – Make sure everyone in your household knows where to go during a storm. Identify a safe place like a basement, storm shelter, or an interior room on the lowest floor.
✅ Stock an Emergency Kit – Include essentials like bottled water, non-perishable food, flashlights, batteries, a first-aid kit, important documents, and extra clothing.
✅ Secure Outdoor Items – High winds can turn patio furniture, grills, and garden tools into dangerous projectiles. Tie them down or bring them inside.
✅ Prepare for Power Outages – Charge your devices ahead of time, have backup power sources, and consider a battery-powered radio to stay informed.
✅ Know Your Alerts – Understand the difference between a Watch (conditions are favorable for severe weather) and a Warning (severe weather is happening or imminent).
