Living in Alabama, the greatest weather emergency we have to deal with is a tornado.  Perhaps you have experienced a tornado watch or warning.  Maybe you’ve had tornado drills at school.  If there is a threat of an actual tornado near your home, do you know what to do?  Does your family have a plan? 

This video from the Texas Department of State Health Services in sign language explains how to prepare for a tornado.

Pay attention to the weather.  Know when tornado season happens.  It is very important to have a weather alert radio.  A Midland NOAA weather radio is a good choice.  It will even alert your family even when you are asleep.  NOAA weather radios can be found at your local Home Depot, Best Buy, online at www.midlandusa.com, and many other retail stores.
