Emergency Preparation
We’ve Been Here Before—And We’ll Be Here Again
At United Way of Sumner County, we've stood with our community through some of its most difficult moments—floods, tornadoes, and unexpected emergencies. When disaster strikes, we activate quickly—connecting those impacted with the help and hope they need.
With tornado season now underway, we ask: Are you and your family prepared?

Here in Tennessee, storms can move in fast—damaging homes, disrupting power and water, and isolating families in need. In fact, new research shows Tennessee is now at the heart of a shifting “Tornado Alley,” with the Southeast seeing more frequent tornado activity.
