Question

What actions can I take to be prepared for a tornado?


Answer

  • Build or identify a safe room in your home, preferably a place without a window.
  • Purchase an NOAA Weather Radio with a tone alert feature. This will allow you To receive warnings issued by a local National Weather Service office (weather radios with the SAME capability can be programmed for just Flagler County).
  • Conduct drills during tornado seasons. Discuss and practice plans with all family members.
  • Develop an emergency communication plan. In case family members are separated from one another during a tornado (at work or school), have a plan for getting back together. Ask an out-of-state relative to serve as a family contact. Make sure everyone in the family knows the name, address and phone number of the contact person.
