One of the most important preparedness actions anyone can take is identifying a safe place before hazardous weather threatens. Knowing where to go ahead of time can reduce hesitation and help people make safer decisions when it matters most. To participate, post a selfie in your safe place using the hashtag #SafePlaceSelfie and tag others to do the same. As you plan your post:
- Think about the hazards most relevant to your area and daily routine
- Remember that the safest place depends on the hazard
- Get creative by including children, pets, or preparedness items
- Challenge others by tagging them in your post
For example, a vehicle may offer protection from lightning, but it is not a safe place during a tornado warning or flash flood.
