Be Ready, Tennessee. Take the time now to prepare before the storm arrives.

- Turn on weather alerts on your phone and monitor trusted local forecasts.
- Identify your safe place now — a sturdy building, ideally a small interior room on the lowest floor and away from windows.
- Bring in or tie down outdoor items like patio furniture, trash cans, trampolines, umbrellas, grills, and decorations so they do not become flying debris.
- Gather essentials in one place — flashlight, medications, shoes, water, pet supplies, and important documents.
- Charge phones and backup batteries in case power goes out.
- Know the difference between a watch and a warning. A watch means conditions are possible; a warning means take action now.

A few simple steps can help keep you and your family safe when severe weather hits.
