WHAT TO DO IN CASE OF TORNADO


IF YOU ARE IN A HOUSE:
-go to the basement or take shelter in a small interior ground floor room such as a bathroom, closet or
 hallway
-if you have no basement, protect yourself by taking shelter under a heavy table or desk
-in all cases, stay away from windows, outside walls and doors

IF YOU ARE IN AN OFFICE:
-take shelter in an inner hallway or room on the ground floor or ideally in the basement
-do not use the elevator
-stay away from windows

IF YOU ARE IN A RINK, GYMNASIUM, AUDITORIUM OR CHURCH:  
-large buildings with wide-span roofs may collapse if a tornado hits it
-if possible, find shelter in another building
-if you are in one of these buildings and cannot leave, take cover under a sturdy structure such as a
  table or desk  
 

AVOID CARS AND MOBILE HOMES:
-find shelter elsewhere, preferably in a building with a strong foundation
-if no shelter is available, lie down in a ditch away from the car or mobile home
-if you are driving and spot a tornado in the distance go t the nearest solid shelter
-if the tornado is close, get out of your care and take cover in a low-lying area, such as a ditch

IN ALL CASES:
-get as close to the ground as possible, protect your head and watch for flying debris
-do not chase tornadoes-they are unpredictable and can change course abruptly
-a tornado is deceptive, it may appear to be standing still but is, in fact always moving
