PREPARING FOR A TORNADO!

1. Know your area’s tornado risk. In the U.S., the Midwest and the Southeast have a greater risk for tornadoes.

2. Know the signs of a tornado, including a rotating, funnel-shaped cloud, an approaching cloud of debris, or a loud roar like a freight train.

3. Sign up for your community’s warning system. The Emergency Alert System (EAS) and NOAA Weather Radio also provide emergency alerts. If your community has sirens, then become familiar with the warning tone.

4. Pay attention to weather reports. Meteorologists can predict when conditions might be right for a tornado.

5. Identify and practice going to a safe shelter such as a safe room built using FEMA criteria or a storm shelter built to ICC 500 standards. The next best protection is a small, interior, windowless room or basement on the lowest level of a sturdy building.

6. Plan for your pet. They are an important member of your family, so they need to be included in your family’s emergency plan.

7. Prepare for long-term stay at home or sheltering in place by gathering emergency supplies, cleaning supplies, non-perishable foods, water, medical supplies and medication.

STAYING SAFE DURING A TORNADO!

1. Immediately go to a safe location that you have identified.

2. Pay attention to EAS, NOAA Weather Radio, or local alerting systems for current emergency information and instructions.

3. Protect yourself by covering your head or neck with your arms and putting materials such as furniture and blankets around or on top of you.

4. Do not try to outrun a tornado in a vehicle if you are in a car. If you are in a car or outdoors and cannot get to a building, cover your head and neck with your arms and cover your body with a coat or blanket, if possible.

STAYING SAFE AFTER A TORNADO!

1. Pay attention to EAS, NOAA Weather Radio, and local authorities for updated information.

2. Stay clear of fallen power lines or broken utility lines.

3. Contact your healthcare provider if you are sick and need medical attention. Wait for further care instructions and continue to shelter in place.

4. Wear appropriate gear during clean-up such as thick-soled shoes, long pants, and work gloves, use appropriate face coverings or masks if cleaning mold or other debris.

🌪️⛈️ As we approach spring time storms make sure your prepared and ready! What you should know about Severe Weather:

Know what to do before, during, and after severe weather.

Create a communications plan with your family before severe weather hits.

Have emergency supplies in place at home, at work, and in the car.

Listen to local officials.

Check your insurance policies to ensure you have enough coverage.

Evacuate if advised by local authorities.

NEW RESOURCE: https://bit.ly/3Z3slsx

Southern Regional Extension Forestry and partners have released a NEW guidebook designed to help prescribed burners of all experience levels set and meet their goals. The guidebook walks readers through the processes involved in planning, preparing for and conducting a prescribed burn in the Southern Region.

It's definitely going to be a hot one again today! I posted the details earlier.

So, if it's going to be this hot, you might as well see the humor in it.
