Tornado Safety and Preparedness

Tornadoes are among the most violent and dangerous natural disasters. Understanding how to stay safe during a tornado can save lives.

Before a Tornado

  • Create an emergency plan: Identify a safe place such as a basement or an interior room on the lowest floor away from windows.
  • Build an emergency kit: Include water, non-perishable food, medications, a flashlight, batteries, and important documents.
  • Stay informed: Have multiple ways to receive weather alerts, like a NOAA weather radio or mobile app alerts.

During a Tornado

  1. Go immediately to your identified safe place.
  2. Protect your head and neck with your arms.
  3. If you are outside or in a vehicle, seek shelter in a sturdy building or lie flat in a low-lying area and cover your head.

After a Tornado

  • Check yourself and others for injuries and provide first aid as necessary.
  • Stay away from damaged structures and downed power lines.
  • Listen to local authorities for information and instructions.

Preparedness is key – taking these steps can help protect you and your loved ones during a tornado event.
