Tornado Safety: Where to Go and What Not to Do
• Seek shelter in a basement or interior room away from windows during a tornado.
• Avoid cars, mobile homes, and overpasses, which offer little protection from tornadoes.
• Prepare an emergency kit with water, food, a flashlight, and a radio to stay safe during a tornado.
Find safe shelter during a tornado warning
Tornadoes can develop rapidly, making it crucial to know where to seek shelter when a warning is issued. The safest place to be during a tornado is underground, such as in a basement or storm cellar. If an underground shelter isn't available, an interior room on the lowest floor of a sturdy building, away from windows, is the next best option.
