The best way to prepare for a tornado is to have an emergency plan in place. Make sure everyone in your household knows what to do and where to go if there is a tornado warning. Have supplies on hand, such as flashlights, batteries, bottled water, non-perishable food items, blankets, and other essentials. Make sure you know how to turn off utilities, like electricity and gas, before the storm arrives. If possible, move to a safe area away from windows and doors. Finally, be aware of the weather conditions and listen to local news reports for warnings about impending storms.
