WI Tornado and Severe Weather Awareness Week!

The annual Tornado and Severe Weather Awareness Week starts today. Officials are encouraging everyone to prepare for the upcoming severe weather season. With being safe at home, there is no better time than right now to prepare our kids for natural disasters. Kids and teens should learn invaluable techniques to better equip them for a variety of severe weather disruptions.

Taking the proper precautionary steps to create an emergency plan could help reduce any occurrence of anxiety when such unexpected events transpire.

Taking the proper precautionary steps to formulate an emergency plan could help reduce any occurrence of anxiety when such unexpected events transpire.

Some helpful tips on how to prepare your children for natural disasters include:

• Offer them facts on the typical weather developments for our region or emergencies that would generally involve first responders being dispatched.
• Focus on types of hazards that could affect the home: a place to seek immediate shelter in the event a tornado develops or prompt evacuation as a result of a fire. 
• Create then test out your family disaster plan. Just as your child practices fire drills at school, disaster drills at home are an excellent way to review what to do during a crisis. Model the exercise for your children and then have them participate either monthly or every few months to see if revisions should be made to your established plan.
