Although you can’t prevent a natural disaster from happening, you can be prepared for one. Gearing up for a catastrophe before it happens can help protect you, your family, and your home. To help keep you and your loved ones safe, we’ve provided tips on how to prepare for some of the most common natural disasters.

With wind speeds from 65mph to over 200mph, tornadoes are one of the most destructive natural disasters. They can also strike with little, or no warning. And, although tornadoes are most common in the Plains States, they can happen anywhere. Being prepared is the best thing you can do to stay safe.

• Choose a safe place in your home where you, your family, and your pets will go to during a tornado: a storm cellar, basement, or an interior room on the lowest floor with no windows.
• Be aware of how your community communicates tornado warnings. Many communities use outdoor sirens while others rely on media and smart phones to alert residents.
• Sign up for severe weather alerts and warnings.
• Collect and safeguard critical documents and records ahead of time.
• Prepare an emergency backpack or storage tub to hold basic supplies, including: bottled water, non-perishable food, flashlight, battery-operated radio, extra batteries, first-aid supplies, wrench or pliers to turn off utilities, and a sleeping bag or warm blanket for each person in the home.
