Extreme Weather Safety

Being aware of the risks of extreme weather, as well as specific safety measures, can help us prepare for different weather emergencies.

Extreme weather risks such as storms, hurricanes, tornadoes and extreme heat or cold can take us unawares and result in injuries or even death if we’re not careful.

However, the good news is knowing exactly what to do can help you respond rather than react to the situation.
