DURING A TORNADO WARNING

• Take cover immediately where you are.
• If you are in a home or a building, move to a shelter. If a basement is not available, move to a small interior room or hallway on the lowest floor and get under sturdy furniture. Stay away from the windows and corners. Use your arms to protect your head and neck.
• If you are outside during a tornado, do not get under a bridge. Get out of your vehicles and seek for a shelter in a nearby building immediately. If a building is not available, try to get to a low and flat location, and lie down. Protect your head and neck with your arms. Be aware of flying debris.
• If a tornado looks as if it’s standing still and getting bigger, it is headed right at you.

Do not try to overturn and run away from the tornado in your vehicle. Tornadoes can change direction quickly and can lift up and toss you car in the air.

DURING A TORNADO WATCH

• Be alert and stay informed. Tornadoes can develop.
• Be prepared to take cover immediately.
• You may travel to somewhere else safer. Remember, if you intend to travel away, you do it before the tornado arrives. DO NOT TRAVEL WHEN A TORNADO IS HAPPENING.
