Tuesday’s storms that rolled through Door and Kewaunee counties acted as a good reminder of what you should do in the event of a natural disaster. September is Preparedness Month in Wisconsin and ReadyWisconsin spokesman Andrew Beckett says it especially goes well with the start of school. He says the start of a school year is a good time to talk with your children about how to handle emergencies because you may not be with them when they occur. 

Beckett says it’s important for you and your family to occasionally practice your plan for emergencies and going to the locations you’ve designated as safe. Beckett adds that it’s important for you to know what risks are presented to you in and outside of your house.
