Electrical Safety Tips to Prepare for a Tornado

Tornadoes can strike with little warning — and power outages, electrical fires, or downed lines can follow. Here’s how to stay safe:

  • Install a Whole-Home Surge Protector
    Prevent voltage spikes from damaging sensitive electronics and appliances.
  • Have a Backup Generator Installed
    Ensure vital systems (like refrigerators, sump pumps, and medical devices) stay on during outages.
  • Secure Loose Wires & Cables
    Inside and out. Wind can yank on exposed lines, causing hazards or outages.
  • Know How to Shut Off Power
    Learn how to safely shut off your breaker box in case of water damage or fire risk.
  • Unplug Non-Essential Devices
    During a storm, unplug TVs, computers, and other high-voltage appliances to reduce risk.
  • Check for GFCI Outlets
    Make sure wet areas (kitchens, bathrooms, outdoor outlets) have proper Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters installed.
