Weather Awareness
Alabama is no stranger to severe weather– in fact, we are part of “Dixie Alley”, an area in the Southeast known for tornadoes. Severe weather is most likely to occur between November and May, but could happen any time of year. It’s important to be prepared and have a plan for what to do in the event of severe weather.
Storm Anxiety and Children
-
Designate a safe place in your home (interior room near the center of the house without windows).
-
Keep helmets in your safe place for everyone.
-
Get a weather radio and enable emergency alerts on your phone; outdoor tornado sirens are not enough.
