Each September, National Preparedness Month encourages and reminds Americans to be prepared for disasters and emergencies in their homes, businesses and communities. The theme for 2022 is “A Lasting Legacy: Prepare for disasters to create lasting legacy for you and your family.”
The primary disasters that North Central Texas residents will experience are tornadoes, winter storms, flooding and wildfires. Knowing these hazards allows family and friends to plan ahead.
The supplies needed in a supply kit are different for a winter storm event and a tornado. But each hazard must be discussed. Have an evacuation route. Know where important documents are stored. Understand your insurance coverage.
Create a communication plan. If cell phones don’t work, how will you get in touch with one another? Do you have a central point of contact?
Ask the tough questions now, so when disaster strikes there is a plan in place to make it just a bit easier.
