If a Tornado Warning Is Issued For Your Area
- Go to the lowest floor of a sturdy building, away from windows — an interior room or hallway is best.
- If you're in a mobile home or vehicle, leave it and get to a sturdy building or a low, flat area if none is available.
- Cover your head and neck with your arms, and add padding (blankets, a mattress) if possible.
- Do not try to outrun a tornado in a vehicle in a city or heavy traffic.
