There are several things you can do to be prepared for an emergency. Remember that it may be some time before emergency responders can reach you, depending on the type and scale of the natural or technical emergency, or combination of emergencies occurring. Participate in community and family emergency preparedness planning by learning CPR, first aid, life saving techniques, and taking time to develop a family emergency plan. In an emergency of any kind, you may be notified by an announcement or weather bulletin on radio or television, or by an emergency siren.
Severe weather is possible.
Listen to local radio and television or NOAA weather radio for additional information. Severe weather is occurring or will occur soon. Be prepared to take action. In a building, an interior hallway on the lowest floor away from windows is usually safest. Never try to outrun a tornado - on foot or in a car.
