Each year, people in this country are killed or seriously injured by all types of extreme weather, despite advance warning. We want to motivate individuals and communities to take actions that will prepare them in the event of a weather disaster and to share their preparedness steps with others. These actions can save lives anywhere - at home, in schools, and in the workplace before tornadoes, hurricanes, and other extreme types of weather strike.

We ask everyone to “Be a Force of Nature” by knowing your risk, taking action and being an example in your community. Please Click Here to find out how you can Be a Force of Nature.
