Some tips from NOAA<\/a> are;<\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

Pay attention to the news<\/h2>\n

If you’re concerned about losing power, you can buy your house a battery, crank, or solar-powered flashlight\/NOAA Weather Radio<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It’s especially important when there’s a risk of power loss. Staying constantly updated can help prepare you for the worst.<\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

sign up for notifications<\/h2>\n

Be sure to sign up for severe weather alerts on your phone. There are many apps like The Weather Channel<\/a><\/p>\n

NOAA suggests that you find out what your town’s alternative warnings are, as well. In some towns that may be a siren or a phone call directly to your home.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Create a Communications Plan<\/h2>\n

The administration suggests putting a plan in place for the various emergencies life may present to us. These should include where and how you will meet up in the case of getting separated.<\/p>\n

The most important part of these plans is practicing it! It’s crucial that your family, especially the younger members, know what to expect and how to act during these emergencies.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

prepare your home<\/h2>\n

Once your family is prepared, it’s wise to move onto your home. Projects as simple as reinforcing the windows before the storm will work but avoid that by installing stronger windows.<\/p>\n

\"People<\/p>\n

Check-in on Neighbors<\/h2>\n

Often in these situations, the elderly need help. Once it’s safe to do so, check up on your neighbors. If the power is out, some elderly people rely heavily on machinery to assist them with their everyday lives. They may need your help.<\/p>\n

It’s amazing to note that the right mindset and skills can make all the difference when it comes to survival. NOAA is attempting to save lives through education.<\/p>\n
