Tornado Safety at Home, Work, or at Play

Submitted by admin on Wed, 04/06/2016 - 6:42am

<strong>Listen, Act, and Live</strong>
In a home or building, avoid windows. Move to a basement, and get under a sturdy table or the stairs. If a basement is not available, move to a small interior room or hallway on the lowest floor and cover yourself with towels, blankets or pillows. If possible, get under a sturdy table, desk or counter. Put as many walls as possible between you and the storm. Wearing a bike helmet will help protect your head.
