U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown
Be Prepared for
Severe Spring Weather
Spring is approaching and with warmer temperatures comes a greater
chance for severe weather. U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) is
notifying Ohioans of resources available to better prepare for severe
weather.
Spring hazards include:
Tornadoes
Floods
Lightning
Heat
Know Your Risk
Check weather.gov every morning. It is a simple action that will ensure
that you’re ready for the day’s weather. Don’t leave home without
knowing the forecast.
Be Prepared
Assemble an emergency supplies kit with 72 hours worth of food and
water. In an emergency (such as after a tornado or some other natural
hazard event), you may be stuck at home without electricity for three
days or more. Make sure that you’re prepared. Also, ensure that
everyone in your life knows how to stay in touch with an emergency
communication plan. This plan lists meeting places and alternate ways
of communicating in case of emergency.
What you should know about Severe Weather
Know what to do before, during, and after severe weather.
Create a communications plan with your family before severe weather
hits.
Have emergency supplies in place at home, at work, and in the car.
Listen to local officials.
Check your insurance policies to ensure you have enough coverage.
Evacuate if advised by local authorities.
Severe weather can strike at any time. Know the risk in your area and
get prepared.
