Tornado Preparation and Recovery Essentials From Lowe’s
If a tornado is approaching, the most important action you can take is to move to an underground shelter or basement. If you don’t have one, a windowless room or hallway on the lowest level of a building is best. It’s also important to have an emergency plan for after a tornado occurs.
To prepare for high water or potential flooding, you should get sand for sand bags and sump pumps to remove water. Because it’s likely that power will be affected, it’s important to stock up on essential tornado items, such as generators, propane tanks, batteries and flashlights. First aid kits can also come in handy for minor injuries. If you have to fix structural damage, Lowe’s is your go-to for tools and materials, including power equipment, plywood and lumber. You can also get cleaning supplies, like shop vacuums, mops, trash cans, mold removers and tarps.
