Tornadoes can occur unexpectedly. It’s best to plan ahead, so you’re prepared at a moment’s notice. Prepare an emergency kit and include: first aid kit, batteries, and medications. Don’t forget the needs of your pets! Keep your kit in a spot you can get to quickly. Watch for the warning signs: watch the news or listen to radio reporting for weather updates; if you see a dark green sky, large hail, or hear a loud roar that sounds like a freight train, a tornado is approaching; identify a safe location to seek cover. Seek shelter: go to the basement or lowest level of your home and stay away from windows and doors; bring your emergency kit, and protect your head with an object or with your arms.
