SERVPRO of Braun Station encourages those in San Antonio to be storm ready

Severe weather can happen anytime, anywhere.  Being prepared to act quickly can be critical to staying safe during a weather event. 

In 2013, there were seven weather and climate disaster events with losses exceeding $1 billion each across the United States.  These events included five severe weather and tornado events, a major flood event, and the western drought/ heat wave.  Overall, these events killed 109 people and had significant economic effects on the areas impacted.

Knowing your risk of severe weather, taking action and being an example are just a few steps you can take to be better prepared to save your life and assist in saving the lives of others.

Know Your Risk. The first step to becoming weather-ready is to understand the type of hazardous weather that can affect where you live and work, and how the weather could impact you, your business, and your family.  Check the weather forecast regularly, obtain a NOAA Weather Radio, and learn about Wireless Emergency Alerts.  Severe weather comes in many forms and your shelter plan should include all types of local hazards.

Take Action. Take the next step in severe weather preparedness by creating a communication plan for your home and business.  Put together or purchase an emergency kit.  Keep important papers and valuables in a safe place.

Be an Example. Once you have taken action to prepare for severe weather, share your story with co-0workers and family and friends on Facebook or Twitter.  Your preparedness story will inspire others to do the same.
