Tornado Safety

This is the time of year when tornadoes are a threat, so it’s important to know what to do in case a tornado strikes or a funnel cloud is spotted. The state of Colorado-sponsored www.ReadyColorado.com is full of helpful preparedness information, including blog postings on Colorado Tornado Preparedness and creating a Family Communications Plan in case of a tornado.  This website can also assist you with creating a preparedness plan for your family, neighborhood, school, business, finances, people with disabilities, and pets/livestock. 

For additional information, check the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Tornadoes page and the Tornado Annex from the Colorado State Emergency Operations Plan, produced by the Colorado Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management.
