Tornadoes - Card "A3"
Calling from a trailer or mobile home in the path of a tornado.

Tell the caller...

  • Leave the structure immediately, and go to a tornado shelter if one is available nearby.
  • Otherwise go to any nearby well-built building and take shelter inside. Avoid areas of the building with glass windows. Try to get to a small interior room on the lowest level. Get under something sturdy, such as a staircase or table.
  • If there is no shelter or structure available, lie flat in the nearest depression, such as a ditch, culvert, excavation, or ravine. But be aware of the possibility of flash flooding.
  • If there is time, turn off the power when you leave.
