Severe weather safety plans: How to make one and what to include
SIOUX CITY, Iowa (KCAU) — As we head into severe weather season in Siouxland, it's important to prepare before bad weather strikes. Of course, we've already had our yearly Severe Weather Awareness Week and had a refresher on the types of severe weather and how to stay safe during a tornado or flood. But it's also important to have a plan in place ahead of time that can be implemented quickly when severe weather strikes and every second counts. Food Truck Fridays kicking off 10th year in June So what, exactly does this look like? And how exactly do you put together a plan of action for severe weather? First, think about (and if you have others living with you, discuss with them) the following: 1.) How will we receive severe weather alerts and warnings? Here's a few ways to consider: 2.) What is our shelter plan? Where's the best/safest place to go when a Tornado/Severe Weather Warning is issued? Will we go to a basement? Storm shelter? Neighbor's house? Community storm shelter? 3.) What is our evacuation plan, if necessary? Where will we go? (Ex. friend/family's house, public shelter, etc.) How will we get there? Are there alternate routes, if needed? What would we need to take with us? Do we have a go bag ready? 4.) Do we have a communication plan? You can easily create a family communication plan 5.) Do we have an ready to go? One for home, work, and in our car(s)? Does anything in the kit need replenished/replaced? 6.) Are there any specific needs to consider? Any babies/young children or older/elderly adults that would need extra assistance/additional supplies (ex. diapers, formula, car seats, oxygen, mobility aids, etc.)? Does anyone have dietary needs/restrictions (food allergies, gluten intolerance, vegan)? Specific medical needs (medication, oxygen, medical equipment) Disabilities (physical, developmental/intellectual, vision/hearing/speech impaired, dementia) More than one language spoken? Language barriers? Religious/cultural restrictions/needs Do you have a pet(s) or service animal(s)? Additionally, once you have your emergency plans ready to go, be sure to practice them ahead of time with everyone in the household (yes, this includes dogs, cats, snakes, lizards, guinea pigs, turtles, fish, whatever pets you may have). It may be helpful to walk younger kids through it all step-by-step so they know exactly what to do if/when you actually have to put the plan into action. Car seat safety checks available for Siouxland families You'll also want to make sure to safeguard any important documents, like birth certificates, financial/legal documents, medical information, and valuables and personal items. A comprehensive checklist of critical documents and items you should have in a safe location can be found on the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)'s website. Another important thing to do well ahead of time is review your insurance policy, whether that be homeowner's or renter's, and understand what all is covered. Purchase any additional coverage you may need. Remember that most homeowner's insurance policies don't automatically cover flooding, so you'll need to purchase that additional coverage. Along with reviewing your insurance policy, it's a good idea to inventory and document the contents of your home or apartment, which will help prove the value of all you owned and potentially speed up the claim process after a loss as well. A good guide to this process and insurance basics from can be found here. Additional resources for disaster/emergency/severe weather preparedness can be found on the Make A Plan homepage .
