When an emergency happens, knowing where to get trusted information can make a difference.

Your local emergency management agency is a key connection to emergency alerts, preparedness information, shelters, recovery resources and other services in your community.

Before an emergency happens, know who your local EMA is and where to find their information.

Floodwater can rise quickly and may be deeper or more dangerous than it appears.

You may not know how deep the water is, whether the road underneath has been damaged or how quickly conditions can change.

ACTION: Never walk or drive through floodwater. If water covers the road, turn around and find another route. Turn Around, Don't Drown.

Where will you go?

Tornadoes can happen anywhere in Tennessee and at any time of year.

Don't wait for a Tornado Warning to figure out where your family will shelter.

Identify your safe place now: a basement or storm shelter is best.

If those aren't available, choose a small interior room on the lowest floor, away from windows.

ACTION: Walk your family to your safe place today and make sure everyone knows where to go.

SEVERE WEATHER: KNOW THE DIFFERENCE

A severe thunderstorm doesn't have to produce a tornado to be dangerous. Severe thunderstorms can bring damaging winds, large hail, lightning and flooding. Know the difference between a watch and a warning so you'll know when it's time to prepare and when it's time to act.

ACTION: Have more than one way to receive weather warnings and know where you'll take shelter before severe weather arrives.

September is National Preparedness Month in Tennessee.

This year, we're helping families and communities take simple steps to prepare for emergencies before they happen.

All month long, we'll focus on four ways to get ready:

1. Know your weather plan.

2. Prepare your home and community.

3. Prepare for extended power outages.

4. Families and communities prepare together.

Follow along, take one small step, and help your community become more prepared.
