Understanding the Storm Season
Storm seasons can vary widely depending on your geographical location. In regions prone to hurricanes, for instance, the season typically peaks from June to November.

Creating a Family Emergency Plan
Preparation starts at home. It’s vital that every family has a plan in place before storms strike. Discuss where you will go if you need to evacuate, how you will communicate with each other if separated, and what supplies you’ll need on hand—such as food, water, medications, and first-aid kits.
Building an Emergency Kit
An emergency kit is essential for any household facing storm seasons. According to KXAS Weather recommendations, your kit should include items like non-perishable food items (enough for at least three days), bottled water (one gallon per person per day), flashlights with extra batteries, a battery-powered or hand-crank radio for updates when power goes out, and necessary personal documents sealed in waterproof containers.
Know Your Community Resources
Familiarize yourself with local resources such as shelters or community centers that may open during storms. KXAS Weather often shares information about available resources during severe weather alerts—making it easier for families to find safe places when needed.
