Tornado

• Tune in to your EAS radio station.
• Find shelter in your basement.
• If your house does not have a basement, go to an interior room in the center of the first-floor level.
• Take cover under a study table and use your arms to protect your head and neck from debris.
• Listen to your EAS radio station for updates.
• If you are in a motor vehicle or mobile home, immediately go to a sturdy building or storm shelter.
• If you are outside, find a ditch or depression and lie flat, covering your head with your hands. A ditch is safer than a bridge or underpass.
