Spring and summer are the prime seasons in our area for thunderstorms and severe weather. According to ready.gov, there are important steps that can be taken to prepare for storms, survive during storms, and be safe after storms.

PREPARE:

• Sign up for your community’s alert system
• Identify sturdy buildings nearby that can be used for shelter
• Cut down or trim trees that could potentially fall on your home

SURVIVE:

• Seek shelter in a sturdy building during a severe storm
• Pay attention to weather reports and alerts
• During a storm, unplug appliances and other electrical devices
• Avoid flooded roadways

BE SAFE:

• Listen to reports for whether it’s safe to go outside
• Watch for fallen power lines and trees
