    Tornado Safety

    In the event of a tornado, follow these guidelines from Ready.gov:

    • Go to a safe shelter immediately, such as a safe room, basement, storm cellar or a small interior room on the lowest level of a sturdy building.
    • Stay away from windows, doors, and outside walls.
    • Do not go under an overpass or bridge. You’re safer in a low, flat location.
    • Watch out for flying debris.
    • Use your arms to protect your head and neck.
    • If you can’t stay at home, make plans to go to a public shelter.
    • After the tornado, stay clear of fallen power lines or broken utility lines.
