Storm Safety Guide
Severe weather can develop quickly. This guide covers practical preparation before, during, and after thunderstorms, strong winds, and heavy rainfall events.
Before storms arrive
- Charge phones and backup batteries.
- Secure outdoor items that can become wind hazards.
- Plan indoor shelter options and safe travel alternatives.
During active storms
- Avoid open fields, tall isolated trees, and metal structures during lightning.
- Do not drive through flooded roads, even shallow-looking water.
- Stay updated through official alerts for your local area.
After the storm
- Watch for damaged power lines and unstable structures.
- Use caution around standing water that may hide hazards.
- Check updated forecasts in case additional cells are expected.
