Tornado Safety

Please take precautions if you are in a tornado warning area:

  • Do not be outdoors.
  • Go to the lowest floor or level of the building (basement).
  • If no basement, go to in an interior rooom or closet.
  • Get under a sturdy table and use your arms to protect your head and neck.
  • Stay away from windows, doors, glass.
  • Do not open windows.
  • Evacuate mobile homes—unsafe in a tornado event.
  • As a last resort if you are outdoors, take cover in a culvert or ditch.
  • Keep a battery-operated radio with you.
