Tornado
What is a Tornado?
A tornado is a violent and destructive weather phenomenon with a rapidly rotating column of air that connects the ground and a thunderstorm cloud. It is known for its powerful winds and distinctive funnel-shaped clouds.
Preparedness
Stay prepared for tornadoes with an emergency kit containing non-perishable food, water, a battery-powered weather radio, flashlights, batteries, and a first aid kit. These essential supplies will support your well-being and self-sufficiency.
Evacuation Plan
In extreme cases of tornadoes, follow evacuation orders issued by authorities and rely on a well-defined plan. Identify safe locations away from the tornado’s path, such as designated storm shelters, basements, or windowless interior rooms on the lowest level of your home.
Safety Measures
During a tornado, prioritize your safety by seeking immediate shelter. If you’re outdoors or in a vehicle, find a sturdy building for protection. If no buildings are available, lie flat in a low-lying area, covering your head and neck with your hands.
Stay Informed
Stay updated on tornado developments by keeping a close eye on reliable sources of information, such as local weather forecasts, tornado watches, and warnings. Remain vigilant for emergency alerts and notifications shared by your local authorities.
