Below is a list of things that you can do to achieve your goal this month.
Choose at least one, and complete it.
- Identify the best storm shelter in your home and practice getting to the shelter with your family.
- Learn how to safely shelter in place.
- Make a Go Bag for emergency sheltering.
Visit this month’s Do 1 Thing topic page for fact sheets and additional resources on sheltering.
