Keep these safety tips in mind when the possibility of a tornado or strong storm is imminent:

Choosing a Spot

• Go to the lowest floor and the innermost portion of the building
• Seek shelter in an interior hallway, under a stairwell, bathroom, or closet
• Shut doors behind you
• Get under a heavy desk or workbench
• Crouch down, protect your head and make yourself as small a target as possible
• Cover your body with a mattress, sleeping bag, blanket, pillow or coat

What to Avoid

When sheltering, things to avoid include:

• Taking shelter where there are heavy objects directly above you such as a refrigerator, which could potentially fall through the floor
• Windows, as breaking glass from flying debris can cause severe injury
• Doors and exterior walls

Special Considerations

In addition to the above listed recommendations, some situations require additional precautions.

• Mobile Homes: Get out and seek sturdy shelter immediately when a tornado warning or a tornado watch is issued. Do not delay.
• Commercial Buildings: Do not use elevators and remember to shut doors behind you.

And remember, we are always here to help!
