Severe weather can develop quickly. Members of the public should monitor official weather alerts, keep emergency supplies available, and know where to shelter before a storm arrives.
A basic preparedness plan may include bottled water, shelf-stable food, flashlights, extra batteries, first-aid supplies, weather radio access, charged phones, and a plan for communicating with family or household members.
