The people of our state know all too well how dangerous severe weather can be. From tornadoes to flooding to violent wind storms, rough weather can be an annual event in Oklahoma.

While emergencies cannot always be prevented, there are many things we can do to better prepare ourselves as individuals, families, businesses and organizations. For that reason, I am excited about this outstanding family preparedness program and what it can mean for ensuring the safety of Oklahomans.

Originally developed by the City of Tulsa, this program brings together a variety of partners whose combined experience allows us to take the effort statewide. I am thankful to McDonald’s and OG&E for their commitment to this effort. I am confident that, by working together, we can build a more disaster-resistant Oklahoma.

My family and I take weather preparedness very seriously. The Family Preparedness Guide and this site contain many ideas to help you prepare for emergencies. I encourage all Oklahomans to take the time now.

Have a plan. Make a kit. Stay informed.

Sincerely,

Brad Henry
Governor
