Having an evacuation plan, as well as being alert and listening closely to any landslide, flood, or storm warnings on the radio can help parents prepare for anything that can happen during a storm.

If you live in a flood prone or landslide-prone area, it’s better to have an evacuation plan or evacuate early in order to avoid any disasters that can potentially happen during a strong storm.
