Develop an Emergency Communications Plan

In case family members get separated from one another during a tornado (a real possibility during the day when adults are at work and children are in school), have a plan for getting back together.

Ask an out of state relative or friend to serve as the “family contact”.

After a disaster, it’s often easier to call long distance than locally.

Make sure everyone in the family knows the name, address, and phone number of the contact person.
