Plan and practice a tornado drill
You may not always have advance warning that a tornado is approaching your location. You may not be at home. Taking the time to identify where you would go for the best protection for every place where you spend a lot of time (for example, home, work, school, house of worship) and how you would get there is part of being prepared.
But it is not enough. Actually practicing is as important. The following suggestions are from the FEMA guide, How to Prepare for a Tornado.
- Identify a shelter or other protective location beforehand.
- Practice moving quickly to the protective location.
- Take note of how long it takes you to get there.
- Consider those with disabilities and those with access or functional needs.
Cold weather can be hard on cars and trucks!
