Safety Tips to Review With Your Family Before a Tornado Strikes
Tornado season is upon us, and that means it’s time to review safety tips with your family before a tornado strikes. Tornadoes can cause significant damage and even death, but there are ways to protect your family and your home. FamilySAFE Shelters has put together a few safety tips to help you prepare for tornado season. Read on to learn more and reach out today for a free tornado shelter consultation.
Have a Plan
When preparing for tornado season, make sure that you discuss the importance of having a plan and an emergency kit ready with your family. Your plan should include where everyone will meet if a tornado warning is issued, and your emergency kit should include items such as food, water, flashlights, a first-aid kit, and other necessities.
Stay Calm & Seek Shelter
In the event of a tornado, it is important to stay calm and take cover as soon as possible. If you are not able to get to your shelter, seek cover in a space that is low to the ground and away from windows. If possible, cover yourself with a blanket or mattress to protect yourself from debris.
Stay Informed
Make sure that your family has access to a radio or television so that they can stay up to date on the latest weather information.
Know What To Do After a Severe Storm
Finally, make sure you and your family know what to do after the storm passes. Check the house for any structural damage and watch out for downed power lines. Be sure to take pictures of any damage to your property for insurance purposes.
Keep Your Family SAFE
If you live in Tornado Alley or an area where tornadoes are common, it’s important to invest in an above-ground tornado shelter or storm shelter. An above-ground shelter is a safe and secure place that your family can go to when a tornado warning is issued. They are designed to protect against strong winds, flying debris, and other dangers associated with tornadoes.
At FamilySAFE, we offer storm shelters that are customized to fit the needs of your family. Our shelters are made from steel and are designed to withstand EF 4 and 5 tornados. Contact us today to learn more about our tornado shelters and get a free consultation.
