Don't Get Thunder-Struck This Spring

March, April, and May are Tennessee’s three leading months for tornados.  Severe spring storms can disrupt life in a community by destroying property, dropping trees across roadways, and robbing stores of the electricity necessary for selling essentials to people who need them in the wake fresh storm damage.  The National Weather Service recommends having a family game plan so that everyone knows what to do in response to different types of severe weather events.  Additionally, it is recommended you keep an Emergency Kit on hand. Below is an example:
Emergency Kit
-Water, one gallon per person
-Nonperishable food
-Flashlight
-Battery powered radio
-Extra batteries
-First aid kit
-7 day medicine supply
-Copies of personal documents
-Cellphone with chargers
-Emergency contacts
-Cash
 
Planning ahead for responding to severe weather can eliminate delay and confusion when spring storms strike.
