It is important to know what you can do in case of a storm. If a tornado warning is in effect, taking shelter is critical. 

Being completely underground is the best place to be in a tornado.  Always make sure the door is securely fastened.

If the entrance to your storm cellar is outside allow plenty of time to get to the shelter. If not, you may be exposed to wind, hail, rain, and lightning.

A basement is also a good shelter as long as it does not have access to doors or windows. 

Avoid seeking shelter underneath heavy objects, and use coverings such as pillows, blankets, sleeping bags, coats, etc to shield your head and body.

If you don't have an underground shelter, you need to find a location that is:

• As close to the ground as possible
• As far inside the building as possible
• Away from doors, windows, and outside walls
• In as small a room as possible
