Twister
Twister Preparedness for Families
A twister, more formally known as a tornado, is one of the most violent forces in nature. Its winds can flatten a house, hurl vehicles and turn ordinary debris into dangerous projectiles within a few minutes. A hurricane announces itself days ahead, but a tornado can form and strike with only minutes of warning. That short fuse makes twister preparedness a job you finish while the sky is calm.
Twister preparedness matters most to families in tornado-prone regions. That includes renters, travelers and anyone living in a mobile home in those areas. It suits preppers at every stage, because a solid tornado plan asks for more thought than money.
Guides for Every Stage of the Storm
- The strike: Learn what to do when a tornado hits, from reading a watch or a warning to choosing the safest shelter in your home.
- The risk: Find out whether you live in one of the tornado risk areas and how that shapes your planning.
- The recovery: Get ready for the tornado aftermath, when downed power lines, gas leaks and damaged buildings keep the danger going after the winds pass.
Start with the risk, build your plan around the strike, and finish with the recovery. Together they give your family a plan for the whole event, from the first alert to the all-clear.
