Tornado Preparedness and Disaster Response Online Resources
According to the National Weather Center’s National Severe Storms Laboratory, tornado season usually refers to the time of year where the U.S. sees the most tornadoes. The peak “tornado season” for the southern plains – often referred to as Tornado Alley – is during May into early June. On the Gulf Coast, it is earlier during the spring. In the northern plains and upper Midwest, tornado season is in June or July. But, remember, tornadoes can happen at any time of year and at any time of day, but most occur between 3-9 p.m.
What Cox is Doing
Plan ahead. Learn how to get ready by reviewing the tornado information on this site and purchasing a NOAA weather radio. Prepare a disaster kit, first aid bag, go bag, and food and water.
Employees can dial the toll free phone number 1-877-COX-IMOK (1-877-269-4665) for assistance during emergency or crisis situations.
