TORNADOES Stay Safe at Home
It is difficult to predict a tornado.
Most of the time you will only have a few
minutes of warning. You should listen
for Tornado Watch and Tornado Warning
alerts. You can also use a NOAA weather
radio to keep updated on severe
weather.
If there is a severe storm or if you hear a Tornado Watch,
keep your eye on the sky for signs of a possible tornado.
Listen to the radio for the latest forecast.
Be prepared to get to safety. If you hear a Tornado Warning or hear
the sound of a tornado, get to a safe location immediately.
Go to a closet on an inside
wall, a bathroom or
hallway on the lowest
floor of the house.
If you have a basement,
go there. Stay away from
windows and doors.
Cover your head.
You should always listen to
the radio or watch television
during severe weather so
you will know if a tornado
or other dangerous storms
are in your area. 5
