2. • The first thing to know if the difference in alert
status.
• Tornado Watch - Tornadoes are possible in and
near the watch area.
• Tornado Warning - A tornado has been sighted or
indicated by weather radar. Take cover.

3. • The best way to prepare your home is to trim
surrounding trees of dead and diseased limbs.
• Move and secure all outdoor furniture and potted
plants to a safe area to keep it from becoming
debris.
• Consider reinforcing your interior safe room.

4. • Listen to the local news station on TV or Radio.
• If you only have a cell phone, there are applications
that allow you to listen to the radio.
• Know your local alert system – sirens, radio
broadcast alert, etc.

5. • Look and listen for these warning signs
• Dark, often greenish clouds – a phenomenon caused by
hail
• Wall cloud – an isolated lowering of the base of a
thunderstorm
• Cloud of debris
• Rotating (funnel) cloud
• Roaring noises

6. • The safest place to be is an underground shelter,
basement or safe room If no underground shelter
or safe room is available, a small, windowless
interior room or hallway on the lowest level of a
sturdy building is the safest alternative.

7. • If caught in your vehicle, try to get to a safe sturdy
structure.
• If flying debris occurs while you are driving, pull
over and park. If you can safely get noticeably
lower than the level of the roadway, such as a ditch
or ravine, exit your car and lie in that area, covering
your head with your hands.
• Your choice should be driven by your specific
circumstances.
