What are the three steps that you can take to prepare for severe weather? Give at least two examples of what you can do to prepare in each step.

Answer:

First, stay informed: monitor local weather forecasts and sign up for emergency alerts. Second, make a plan: decide where your family will shelter and choose an out-of-area contact or meeting place. Third, assemble emergency supplies: prepare a kit with water and nonperishable food, and include a flashlight, batteries, a first-aid kit, and needed medicines.
