It’s that time again! Are you ready for Texas weather?
Texas weather is more unpredictable than the NCAA basketball tournament, but with a little preparation, you can avoid March Madness and have clear skies for you and your family during severe weather season.
Most importantly, prepare for severe weather BEFORE it strikes. Know what to do before, during, and after a severe weather event Do you have a plan in place with your family? Do you have emergency supplies in place at home, work, and in the car? Do you have multiple ways to receive alerts?
MAKE A PLAN
Have a list of all emergency contacts and other important information in your email or some other place you can access it remotely if need be. How will your family reach each other? Where will you meet if you are separated? Where will you go if you need to evacuate? Make a plan with your family and make sure everyone knows the important information.
EDUCATE YOURSELF
Do you know the difference between a watch and warning? A WATCH means all ingredients for severe weather are present. A WARNING means a severe weather event is actively happening.
If you hear the outdoor warning sirens, they could be activated for several reasons: high winds, large hail, or a tornado. It is important to note that these sirens ARE NOT designed to be heard indoors, so it’s crucial to have multiple ways to get alerts in the case of severe weather. The City of Willow Park has its own alert system with a registration link on the home page of our website
HAVE AN EMERGENCY KIT
Are you prepared to go without water or power in the event of an emergency? Having backup supplies at the ready can make a huge difference.
Start your kit with the following supplies:
Clean water for drinking and sanitation
Non-perishable food
Battery-powered or hand crank weather radio
Flashlight
First aid kit
