During wildfires, evacuations are only one part of the story, and moving to safety takes longer when you have children. Children depend on parents and caregivers to get to safety and bring what they need until it is safe to return. npdcoalition.org/resources/th...

🌪️🌩️ Severe weather can be scary; knowing the plan can help. Let children practice going to the family's safe place. Give them a simple job, explain what the weather warning means, and reassure them that adults have a plan. Preparedness helps children feel ready, not helpless.

During a tornado, seek shelter immediately in the safest place you can find. The best option is a basement or storm cellar. If you don't have a basement or storm cellar, use an interior room on the lowest floor of your home, such as a bathroom or closet. Stay away from windows and exterior walls.
