7/6/2022 (Permalink)

A large percentage of the population looks forward to Spring for a number of reasons: spring forward, spring weather, college basketball, The Masters, Golf Season, Crappie Fishing, Easter, the best fruits are coming in season and more. Although all of those are positive things to look forward to for Spring, something negative we have to look out for is tornadoes. March through June is tornado season. Tips to weather the storm are crucial for your safety. If a tornado strikes your home or business and causes damage, SERVPRO of Paducah and Mayfield can make it “Like it never even happened.”

Here are three tactics, according to Ready.gov, you can implement to prepare now for a tornado:

• Know your area’s tornado risk. In the U.S., the Midwest and the Southeast have a greater risk for tornadoes.
• Pay attention to weather reports. Meteorologists can predict when conditions might be right for a tornado.
• Identify and practice going to a safe shelter in the event of high winds, such as a safe room built using FEMA criteria or a storm shelter built to ICC 500 standards. The next best protection is a small, interior, windowless room on the lowest level of a sturdy building.

There are a number of other tips to help keep you safe before, during and after a tornado. To learn more click here https://www.ready.gov/tornadoes
