Storm-Ready in Springfield: Your Home Emergency Checklist

Life in the Ozarks means weather can change fast — storms, ice, flooding, you name it. Having a plan in place isn’t just smart; it’s peace of mind. That’s why we put together a simple, step-by-step checklist to help you prepare your family and your home. From setting meeting spots and sharing emergency contacts, to stocking a 3-day food and water supply, this guide covers the essentials.

For me, this is personal. Years ago, my own family home was destroyed by a tornado. Walking through that kind of loss changes the way you see preparedness. It’s not just about tarps, flashlights, or bottled water — it’s about protecting the people you love most and finding peace in the middle of chaos. As a man of faith, I believe preparation is part of being a good steward of what God has entrusted to us.

My hope is that you’ll take a few minutes today to make your own plan, build your kit, and keep this guide close at hand.
