Tornadoes

Tornadoes are highly destructive and often unpredictable, bringing strong winds and debris that can cause significant damage. To prepare for them, reinforce windows, doors and roofing with durable materials, and secure or remove outdoor objects, like patio furniture, that could become dangerous projectiles. Identify a safe space to go, such as a cellar or an interior room away from windows and exterior doors, and practice emergency drills regularly to ensure that everyone knows what to do. During a tornado, protect yourself under sturdy furniture or with a mattress and stay in your designated safe area until authorities signal the all-clear.

Blizzards

Blizzards can confine people for days and cause significant damage. Homeowners in areas with harsh winters should insulate their pipes, replace worn siding and roofing and clean the gutters regularly to prevent ice buildup. Proper insulation of doors and windows, especially in bedrooms, is also essential. Have your roof checked to make sure that it can bear the weight of heavy snow.

Emergency kits for blizzard-prone areas should include a week's supply of medications, care items, extra blankets and clothing. In workplaces, preparation should include assessing the building's insulation, ensuring that heating systems are functional, and maintaining emergency supplies like nonperishable food, water, blankets, flashlights and batteries.

Businesses should develop communication plans for closures or remote work and establish protocols for employees to leave safely during worsening conditions. They should also have a backup plan for in case employees end up snowed in at work.
