Throughout National Preparedness Month, we’re offering tips to help you know what to do if a disaster happens.

  • How will my household get emergency alerts and warnings?
  • How will my household get to safe locations during disasters that can occur in our area (tornadoes, floods, severe storms, etc.)?
  • How will my household get in touch if cell phone, internet, or landline telephones don’t work?

  • How will my household get to a meeting place after the emergency?
