Episode Details

As Tornado Alley shifts east, Louisiana’s at greater risk, and locals say they’ve heard twisters before phone warnings even arrived. Advocates are calling for better tornado education, too — since hurricane prep doesn’t always translate to twisters. Sirens could cost $30K–$50K each, and officials are scrambling to fund them.

A robust, inclusive alert system for all disasters — because the threats are growing, and so must our readiness.
