If you're at work, your kids are at school, and a major tornado strikes your neighborhood, it may not be safe for you to go home. That’s why you need to choose a few spots close to home to meet up, if it's possible.
19
During and after a major hurricane or tornado, family members could become separated, especially if you have to evacuate or shelter outside of your home. And if there is major damage in your area, you will want a good communication plan to get in touch with everyone to be sure they are safe. Without a plan, tracking down family members can get stressful.
20
Some disasters strike without any warning, and family members may not all be in the same place. How will you get in touch with each other? Where will you meet? What if your neighborhood is being evacuated?

Your storm safety plan will only work if you know how to put it into action fast. Once you've created the plan, schedule a family meeting and go over it. Make copies of the plan for adults and older children. Keep a copy of the plan in a public area of your house, like the refrigerator
keep a copy in your cars' glove compartments.

If you have pets, make them part of your storm safety plan, too. Many often scare during storms, and may run away or hide. You should: Create a storm emergency kit just for your pets, including food, water, cat litter and box for cats, medications, photos of your pets, contact information for your veterinarian, and the nearest animal hospital. Have a soft crate that will travel in case you need to evacuate. And take your pet emergency kit with you. Make sure they always wear a collar with their name, your name, and your phone numbers.

DON’T PANIC. Unbuckle your seatbelt and instruct any children in the car to do the same. Roll a window down. If you can't engage the windows, use an emergency escape tool, umbrella or any sharp object to break the glass. Swim out and get to safety as quickly as possible.
