5 Spring Weather Hazards to Avoid l Spring Weather Safety Tips

Spring love is here and we are pretty stoked about it! The sunshine, the warmer and the longer days feels like ecstasy. However, we forget the tornadoes, the floods, the torrential downpours and the hail are part of the season. We know it is a total buzz kill, but spring causes disturbances across the nation. You need to be aware that the weather can alter at any given moment. You need to have a storm readiness plan in place to save valuable time and maybe your life. "Take the opportunity now to choose the best shelter in your home and office, and make sure all concerned know where it is. Choose a meeting place to gather after the storm to ensure that everyone is safe," the National Weather Service instructed. While the season brings many blessings, it can create havoc. Here are 5 spring weather hazards to avoid during the spring season.

The saying that you can't predict the weather is true. Make sure to check the weather daily or get an alert on your phone to warn you of pending danger. You can check weather.gov every morning before you leave for work. It is a simple action that will ensure that you’re ready for the day’s weather. Don’t leave home without knowing the forecast. Also, keep an emergency kit in your car and in your home. This can include water, batteries, flashlights and blankets. Make sure there is packaged food like crackers stored in the emergency kit. If you are on the road, make sure that your gas tank is full because if the power goes out the gas pumps won't work. Don't think you can ever outsmart nature. Use common sense when you are faced with wind, rain, tornadoes and flooding. It is not worth the risk. You never know what is going to happen during the spring.
