Prepared for tornado season? You should be!

Every year, tornadoes spike significantly in touchdowns and sightings from late spring to early summer. An increase in the number of tornadoes, unfortunately, brings an increase in the damage and destruction they leave in their wake. Thousands of families are affected by these monstrous natural disasters every year, which is why it is crucial to be prepared!

Tornadoes form in the blink of an eye, often with little warning. This is even more true when these disasters form during the night. Fortunately, weather broadcasts can keep you updated on the severity of the storm and alert you with tornado warnings or watches. 

One of the best ways to be prepared for a natural disaster like a tornado is to create emergency kits or "go bags"! These kits should contain warm blankets, clothing, medical supplies, non-perishable food, water, and potential necessities like flashlights. In a disaster, these items can support you until help arrives!
