Nebraska Severe Weather Awareness Week

March 25-29 is Nebraska Severe Weather Awareness Week. This week gives Nebraskans an opportunity to review their plan when severe weather strikes.

Make a Plan

Talk to your friends and family about how you will communicate before, during and after a disaster.

Build a Kit

Gather supplies that will last for several days after a disaster for everyone living in your home.

Don’t forget the unique needs of each person or pet. You can find a list of items to help you get started here: https://nema.nebraska.gov/files/doc/preparedness-kit.pdf.

Find out what disasters could impact your area, and where you would go if you and your family need to evacuate. Keep a NOAA weather radio tuned to your local emergency station and monitor TV and radio. Follow mobile alerts and warnings about severe weather in your area.
