Prepare a home tornado plan
- Pick a place where family members could gather if a tornado is headed your way. It could be your basement, or if there is no basement, a center hallway, bathroom or closet on the lowest floor. Keep this place uncluttered.
- If you are in a high-rise building, you may not have enough time to go to the lowest floor. Pick a place in a hallway in the center of the building.
- Conduct periodic tornado drills, so everyone remembers what to do when a tornado is approaching.
Stay tuned for storm warnings
- Listen to your local radio and TV stations for updated storm information.
Know what tornado WATCHES and WARNINGS mean:
- A tornado WATCH means a tornado is possible in your area.
- A tornado WARNING means a tornado has been sighted and may be headed for your area. Go to safety immediately.
