Q1: Where are you?
Q2: Is there any shelter around you?

Tell the caller:

• If it is still hailing, you must find shelter. If you have to move the victim, try to do so with as little neck movement as possible. If you can't move the victim, find something to protect them from injury - if not their entire body, then at least find something to protect their head. Find shelter for yourself as well.
• Stay out of culverts and lowland areas that might fill suddenly with water. T
• rees are a last resort. It is common during severe storms for trees to lose their branches. Also, large isolated trees attract lightning.

NOTE: If the reported size is ¾" or greater, mark the location of the report on a map. Pass the report along to both the local Emergency Operations Center (or Emergency Manager), and the nearest National Weather Service office (as time permits).
