If a Tornado Warning is issued for your area or you witness a tornado:

• Seek shelter in the lowest level of your home, below ground such as in a basement is usually best.

Actions to take to be ready for severe weather:

• Have a plan and practice it with your family, also make friends aware of your shelter location should you become trapped in your shelter by debris.
• Have your shelter stocked with some food, water, flashlights, and a portable radio or weather alert radio to stay informed of conditions.
