After talking about severe weather the last few days, now is the time to take that knowledge and put it to action.

Having a piece of equipment to alert you of weather advisories, such as a NOAA Weather Radio, a cell phone that is subscribed to weather alerts, or a computer program that offers alerts, is good way to stay safe.

Knowing what to do in the event of severe weather is also very important. A sturdy structure is probably the most important key to safety, whether its a tornado or a severe thunderstorm threatening the area.
