Your goal is to plan in advance.
The unexpected rises at the worst time.
Tornadoes are among nature’s most sudden and destructive forces, capable of striking with little warning and leaving a path of devastation in their wake.
Tornado PREPAREDNESS
The chaos of a tornado is magnified when family members are not together, adding emotional stress to an already dangerous situation.
In the United States, over 500,000 people were left without electricity as powerful tornadoes tore through four states. While this part of the USA is prone to tornadoes, a warming atmosphere may be changing the location, timing, and duration of these highly destructive weather events, making them more difficult to prepare for.
Climate Council
- Tornadoes are among nature’s most sudden and destructive forces, capable of turning a calm day into a catastrophic event in mere moments. With wind speeds that can exceed 200 miles per hour in the most extreme cases, tornadoes have the power to obliterate homes, uproot trees, and hurl debris for miles. These storms often leave communities unrecognizable, carving paths of devastation that stretch across rural farmlands, bustling urban centers, and everything in between.
- Tornadoes may strike without warning, but families can face these events with confidence when equipped with a clear plan and the right tools. The SimpliGO DPP DMN app ensures that families are prepared for the unexpected, even when circumstances are at their worst. By fostering communication, connecting users to critical resources, and empowering proactive planning, SimpliGO transforms chaos into clarity, ensuring that every family member has the knowledge and support to stay safe and resilient. Preparation starts today—because the unexpected can happen at any time.

Designating Safe Spaces: Identify the safest locations in your home, such as a basement or interior room without windows. If a family member is elsewhere,
they should know the closest safe shelter at school, work, or other common locations.
-
Family Communication Plan: Ensure that every family member knows how to communicate during a tornado. Designate an out-of-town contact to relay messages and keep everyone informed
-
Emergency Kits: Prepare go-bags for each family member, including items like flashlights, first-aid kits, non-perishable snacks, water, and essential medications.
Store them in easily accessible locations.
-
Stay Informed: Monitor trusted weather services, such as NOAA, for real-time updates about the storm’s progress and recommended actions.
The SimpliGO DPP DMN App simplifies this process by providing interactive checklists and guidance tailored to tornado preparedness. Families can use the app’s tools to build their plans step by step, ensuring no detail is overlooked.
