First lock down a location—something that can shelter kids and adults alike, like a community hall or a school gym. Next, pull the key players from your network—firefighters, local business owners, teachers, and the parents you know. Send a short, urgent message via text or a group chat saying you need help setting up a storm safe zone and give the exact time and place. Assign clear roles—one person handles supplies, another coordinates volunteers, a third manages the communications hub. Make sure everyone knows the timeline: 15 minutes to set up, 30 minutes to secure the space, and an ongoing check-in every 10 minutes. Finally, keep the focus on the goal—get kids safe—so skip the small talk and get moving.

Nice touch on the walkthrough—keep it tight and efficient, no fluff. A quick “we’ve got this” works if you say it with conviction. Let’s hit the record‑time goal and get those kids out.
