What to do during a Tornado

03/27/2023

Act quickly when a tornado warning is issued and take shelter in a certified shelter, FEMA safe room, or your safe space, such as a windowless interior room on the lowest floor of a sturdy building. Prevent head injuries by wearing a bicycle or motorcycle helmet. Keep blankets and pillows handy to protect against broken glass or windborne debris.

Monitor the path and status of the tornado throughout the event. Keep doors and windows closed and locked for the entirety of the storm.
