PDF · Instant download · Yours to keep
The Home Manual builds the plan before and during the storm. The Recovery Manual takes you through the days and months after it. They were written to be used side by side.
Chapters 1–6. What a warning really gives you (minutes, not hours), “watch” versus “warning”, how to get the alert even while you sleep, the myths that put people in danger, how a tornado forms, and your own risk map.
Chapters 7–15. Basement or not: the interior room, the layers rule for head and neck, apartments and upper floors, mobile homes and why you need a Plan B, rentals, the car, work, school, church and open ground.
Chapters 16–24. Do you really need one? The types, FEMA P-361 and ICC 500, underground, garage and above-ground safe rooms, what it costs and who helps pay, and how to avoid fraud.
Chapters 25–33. A one-page plan (who does what in 90 seconds), older adults, disability, children, pets, neighbors, the drill, the kit by budget (free, $100 and $500) and the go-bag.
Chapters 34–37. The warning window minute by minute, tornadoes at night, what to do and not do once you are in the shelter, and how long to wait before coming out.
A one-page family plan, checklists, a contacts and medical sheet, glossary, myths versus facts, a shelter comparison chart, large-print pages and the first weekend road map.
Chapters 1–7. What your insurance covers, the photo inventory, important documents, strengthening your home on a small budget, trees and yards, an emergency fund and staying in touch when the network jams.
Chapters 8–15. Injuries and first aid, gas, power lines and damaged buildings, stay or go with a damaged home, safe food and water, generators and carbon monoxide, cold and heat without electricity.
Chapters 16–22. Insurance claims step by step, how to document the damage, FEMA and SBA disaster loans, taxes after a disaster, renters and mobile homes, and how to appeal when aid or a claim is denied.
Chapters 23–27. Debris and safe cleanup, mold and water damage, asbestos, lead and other hidden hazards, tarps and temporary repairs, and how to choose a contractor without getting scammed.
Chapters 28–32. Emotional recovery, children after the tornado, older adults and people with reduced mobility, pets and animals, neighbors, volunteers and community help.
Chapters 33–37. Rebuild or relocate, building codes and wind-resistant construction, a new safe room, your calendar of the year and how to teach the plan to children and grandchildren.
The First 72 Hours checklist, a damage and loss record for your insurer, emergency contacts and aid sheet, glossary, myths versus facts, model letters and call scripts, large-print pages and where the sources disagree.
A calm tornado plan, finally written down
for every kind of home.
Your First Move,
Decided Before
The Sirens Sound.
Most tornado advice is either too vague to act on or too scary to read. This manual gives you the order: where to go in a home with no basement, how to choose and prepare your interior room, what to do in an apartment, an upper floor or a rental, what a shelter really costs and who helps pay, and one plan for the whole family, including kids, pets and older relatives. Calm steps. One book. Yours forever.

The other half of the plan, finally written
down for the day after.
The First 72 Hours,
Your Insurance Claim
And How To Rebuild.
After the storm, nobody tells you what to do first. This manual walks you through the first 72 hours, how to document the damage, how to file an insurance claim, what FEMA and disaster loans can and cannot do, how to clean up safely, how to choose a contractor without getting scammed, and how to look after your family while you rebuild. Plain steps, one chapter at a time.

The complete tornado safety library
One book builds the plan for before and during the storm. The other takes you through the hours, days and months after it. Together, they take you from “where do we go?” to “what do we do next?”
Both books are delivered instantly after secure checkout.
Choose The Tornado-Ready Home Manual if you want a plan in place before the next warning: where to go, what to do and what to keep at hand. Choose The Tornado Recovery Manual if you have been hit, or want to know what comes after: the first 72 hours, insurance, FEMA help and repairs. Choose both for the complete picture.
A three-page printable that comes with the pack: a fill-in Family Tornado Plan, an Emergency Kit Checklist and a First 72 Hours card to keep with your kit. You get it in the same email as the two books.
Yes, that is what the manual is built around. Book One has a full chapter on a home without a basement and how to choose and prepare your interior room, plus chapters for apartments, upper floors and rentals.
Not necessarily. The manual helps you decide whether you really need one, explains the standards (FEMA P-361, ICC 500), what each type costs and who helps pay, and how to avoid scams.
They are digital PDF books delivered after checkout. Read them on your phone, tablet or computer, and print any pages you want to keep close at hand.
No. It is general educational information. When a warning is issued for your location, follow the instructions of the National Weather Service and your local officials.
Digitally, straight after checkout. The PDFs read on a phone, tablet or computer. No subscription or special app is required.
