National Severe Weather Preparedness Week 2013

National Severe Storm Preparedness Week is an opportunity for the American Red Cross to urge everyone to Be a Force of Nature and know what actions you should take if severe weather threatens your community.

National Severe Weather Preparedness Week – March 3-9 - is a time set aside by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the National Oceanic and Atmosphere Administration (NOAA) to emphasize the need for individuals, families, businesses, and nonprofits to get prepared and know what to do before severe weather strikes.

A great way to get started is to download the Red Cross Preparedness Apps that are relevant to where you or your loved ones live. The apps contain simple steps and checklists you can use to create an emergency plan and share it with household members plus a variety of other safety features.
