Tornado Safety Tips
BEFORE THE STORM: Develop a plan for you and your family for home, work,school and when outdoors. Have frequent drills. Know the area In which you live and keep a highway map nearby to follow storm movement from weather bulletins. Have a NOAA Weather Radio with a warning alarm and battery back-up to receive warnings. Listen to radio and televisi on for Information. If planning a trip listen to the latest forecasts and take necessary action. Stay away from windows. Get out of automobiles. WHEN THREATENING WEATHER APPROACHES In a home or building, move to a pre-designated shelter such as a basement. If an underground shelter Is not available move to an Interior room or hallway on the lowest floor and get under a sturdy piece of furniture. Do not try to outrun a tornado in your car; Instead,leave It Immediately.If caught outside or In a vehicle, lie flat In a ditch or depression. Mobile homes,even If tied down,offer little protection from tornadoes and should be abandoned. This page last modified on Thursday, June 23, 2011 |
