NWS weather safety brochures
NOAA National Weather Service
Definitive severe-weather protective-action guidance (tornado sheltering, lightning 30-30 rule, flood 'Turn Around Don't Drown', heat index, wind chill). Short, visual, ideal for offline cards.
Editor's notes
Two real caveats: (1) NWS/NOAA names and logos are trademark-protected — don't imply endorsement; (2) some brochures embed credited copyrighted photos (e.g., the thunderstorms/lightning brochure at https://www.weather.gov/media/grr/brochures/nwsthunderstorms&lightning.pdf carries '© 1991 Warren Faidley, Weatherstock') — screen each brochure and prefer/rebuild versions without third-party-credited images.
