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

There is no way to be 100% prepared for a storm but you can increase your chances for survival if you take a few preventative measures.
