Why Tornado Preparedness Matters

Minnesota averages 30+ tornadoes a year. Even if your home isn’t hit directly, high winds, hail, and debris can cause severe property damage.

Family Safety First

• Designate a safe room (basement or interior room).
  
  
• Keep an emergency kit with water, flashlights, and first aid.
  
  
• Practice tornado drills with kids.
  
  

Protecting Your Home

• Secure outdoor furniture and grills.
  
  
• Trim weak branches that could fall on your house.
  
  
• Reinforce garage doors—often the weakest point.
  
  

After the Storm

• Stay away from downed power lines.
  
  
• Document property damage before cleanup.
  
  
• Call Lakeside for board-up and emergency repairs.
