Tornado Weather Preparedness Plan
Today’s devastating weather events along the Eastern Shore remind us to be more aware of weather and prepared for inclement dangerous weather events. King and Queen Courthouse is not considered to be a tornado-prone area, but we would like to remind campers of the following Tornado Preparedness Plan recommended by NOAA and the American Red Cross.
- Monitor a NOAA Weather Radio or have a weather app on your cellphone
- Know where to go for shelter, preferably within walking distance (Bath and shower houses at Rainbow Acres)
- Be ready to go if a TORNADO WATCH is issued
- GO IMMEDIATELY when a TORNADO WARNING is issued
- Wherever you find shelter stay away from windows
- Don’t plan on staying inside your RV
- Bring your pets in a carrier or on a leash
- Grab only essentials (purse, ID, cash, medications) and only if easily accessible
- Don’t waste time searching for anything
- Practice your tornado drill periodically
