During the Tornado
Seek shelter immediately
- If you are home, proceed to your designated and stocked area.
- If you are in a motor vehicle, stop and get out. Seek shelter away from your vehicle, and never use it to outrun a tornado.
- If you are away from home, follow the emergency procedures for the building. If you are in a high-rise building, move to the lowest floor but do not take the elevator, and find shelter in designated areas or in small interior spaces. Stay away from windows, outer walls and doorways.
- Outdoors, stay away from trees, power lines and utility poles, and lie flat in a ditch, culvert or excavation.
- Wherever you are, stay low to the ground, either in a flat or crouched position. Protect your head by getting under a table or bench and cover your head with a blanket or your clasped hands.
