Answer key

For grown-ups. Fold this page away before handing over the rest.

Go inside the house now and tell a grown-up · Thunder means lightning is a danger. Enter a sturdy, fully enclosed house or school right away and tell a grown-up. Sheds and open-sided shelters are not safe. Stay away from windows and trees, and follow local safety instructions.
To plan for the weather ahead · A forecast tells us what weather may come. That helps us plan, but it does not change the weather.
True · Forecasts use weather information. New information can change a forecast, so people check for updates.
Food and warm blankets · Food gives the family something to eat. Warm blankets help them stay warm while they shelter indoors during a blizzard.
Drink water and rest in a cool room · Drink water and spend time in a cool building. Shade alone may not be cool enough during a heat wave.
2 · Count each square once: 1, 2. The picture stands for 2 spare flashlight batteries.
Follow the weather warning · Follow the latest local weather warning with a grown-up. A friend's guess or a view through a window does not replace it.
Where should we go now? · Asking where to go helps Ravi find a safe place with a grown-up.
