Preparing
for a rainstorm takes a lot of planning. Make sure you have a family emergency
plan for a heavy rainstorm. Create a checklist to ensure that everything is
protected from the heavy rainstorm. Also, close all doors, and windows, and
make sure patio furniture is away from trees. Trim trees and other plants
before the rainstorm.
Sign up for
weather alerts. Be alert to weather reports in your area. Additionally, add
extra blankets to keep you warm while you stay at home. If your area gets
evacuated, know the nearest shelter to go to. If you are traveling, find the
nearest shelter, hotel, or motel to spend the night while you wait for the
storm to end.
However, if you
are at home during the rainstorm; Make sure you have enough food and water
supply. Make an emergency kit with a battery-operated radio, extra batteries,
raincoats, umbrellas, snacks, sanitation supplies, band aids, medications, and
other items. Include flashlights and battery-operated candles in your rainstorm
kit. Furthermore, have a fire extinguisher ready for an emergency. Create a pet
safety plan in case your pet is not allowed at the evacuation shelter.
Try to remain
calm before and during the rainstorm. Do not take a shower during a
thunderstorm. Keep your cell phone on battery saver. If there is a lot of
thunder at night; Turn off your cell phone while you are sleeping. As well as
turning off all electronics that use electricity before a thunderstorm.
Notify your
family and friends that your cell phone will be turned off during the
thunderstorm. Use a hand crank weather radio. Prepare meals that do not require
heat from an oven or stove. Keep yourself busy without electronics and have
board games, puzzles, or card games. Here are resources for preparing for a
rainstorm.
