Tornados
Tornados are one of the most destructive natural disasters that can strike anywhere in the world. They can cause severe damage to homes, businesses, infrastructure, and even take lives. Being prepared for a tornado is crucial to ensure your safety and survival. This category provides links to many books and other resources about tornados that will help you learn more about them as well as provide you with practical advice on how to prepare for them.
One of the best ways to be prepared for a tornado is by having an emergency kit ready at all times. This kit should include items such as food, water, first aid supplies, flashlights with extra batteries or crank power sources if possible; blankets or sleeping bags; personal hygiene items like toilet paper or wipes; cash in small denominations (ATMs may not work after a disaster); important documents copies (insurance policies etc.) stored securely offsite but accessible remotely via cloud storage services like Dropbox or Google Drive.
Another essential aspect of tornado preparation is knowing what actions you need to take when one strikes. The American Red Cross - Are You Ready - Tornado book provides valuable information on this topic including creating an evacuation plan ahead of time which includes identifying safe locations within your home where there are no windows or doors facing outside walls (such as bathrooms), understanding warning signals from local authorities so you know when it's time evacuate immediately vs shelter-in-place until further notice arrives from officials who have better situational awareness than civilians do based solely upon radar data feeds alone without additional ground truthing input provided by trained spotters out in the field observing conditions firsthand.
In conclusion, being informed about tornados through reading relevant literature such as IBHS Tornadoes Brochure & Fact Sheet - Tornadoes along with Thunderstorms Lightning Tornados helps increase awareness levels among individuals living in areas prone to these types of events while also providing actionable steps they can take before during & after any event occurs thereby reducing potential loss life property damage economic disruption overall societal impact resulting from said catastrophic weather phenomena.
