HOW TO STAY SAFE FROM TORNADOES

• Know your community’s warning system.
• Pick a place where family members can gather if a tornado is headed your way – the basement or, if there is no basement, a center hallway, bathroom, or closet on the lowest floor. Keep this place uncluttered.
• Be aware that no area of a mobile home is safe during tornadoes or other severe winds. If you have access to a sturdy shelter or a vehicle, abandon your mobile home immediately and go to either, using your seat belt if driving.
• In a high-rise building, if there isn’t enough time to go to the lowest floor, pick a place in a hallway in the center of the building.
• Remove diseased and damaged limbs from trees.
• Move or secure lawn furniture, trash cans, hanging plants or anything else that can be picked up by the wind and become a projectile.
