NOAA weather radios are the best way to protect yourself from natural disasters. These radios receive free 24/7 broadcasting from NOAA radio stations all over the US. They alert their listeners on potential dangers from incoming storms and winds. The best part is that you don't even need to keep the radio volume turned up at all times. The radio will automatically signal an alarm when dangerous weather is approaching your area. I feel that these are especially important for those who live in mobile homes due to fatalities that can occur if warning are not heard. However, these radios are not cheap and can cost from $20-80 depending on their features. This is why I feel a need from the government and NGOs to provide a free weather radio to those who qualify. Tornadoes aren't going to stop any time soon but we can stop the risk of fatalities now.
