Protect you and your family from a tornado's tragic happening. Here's how: *Pick a place where your family and friends can gather in case a tornado is headed your way. Either the basement or a center hallway if you live in a high rise building. Whatever it is let it be in the lowest part of your house. *Watch your local weather station to be informed of the severity and path of the disaster especially to know if the tornado is headed your way. *Don't go outside. If you're in the car go in a safe place like a basement. *Stay away from windows and open areas. *Prepare a disaster kit and keep it in a easy to reach area.
Your disaster kit should contain: * First aid kit and essential medications. * Canned food and can opener. *Three gallons of water per person. *Protective clothing, bedding, or sleeping bags. *Battery powered radio, flashlights, and extra batteries.
After the tornado you should: * Watch for fallen power lines and stay out of the damaged area. *Don't use candles at any time. *Inspect your home for damage. *Listen to the radio for more information. |
