Have an Emergency Kit 

Second, make sure you have an emergency kit prepared. This kit should include things like food, water, and first aid supplies. 

Have a Safe Room 

Third, keep your family safe by having a designated safe room in your home. This room should be away from windows and doors, and it should have sturdy walls and a ceiling. 

Have Emergency Supplies 

Fourth, make sure you have emergency supplies on hand, including a flashlight, batteries, and medicine. 

Clean your Gutters
