Tornado tips

Funnel clouds have been observed on every continent except Antarctica. The United States

has significantly more than the rest of the world because of lowlying geography and

a climate that breeds strong thunderstorms . With wind speeds up to 320 miles per hour,

tornadoes kill about 60 people every year in the United States when uprooted trees and

debris turn into deadly missiles . Check out our list of tornado safety tips to get prepared!

1………

The safest location is always a basement , below the deadly wind and projectile objects. If

you can't go underground, find a small interior room or hallway on the lowest level of the

building.

2………

Make learning quick and fun, and children will remember the basics of what to do, especially

if you go through the motions several times. Just as most kids know what to do if their clothes

are on fire, the same drill could be applied for tornado safety instead of "Stop, drop , and

roll" try "Run, duck , and cover!"

3………

Experts recommend that each person (and pet) has supplies for at least three days, including

bottled water (two quarts per person, per day), nonperis hable food, and a firstaid kit that

includes prescription items as well as aspirin. Make sure you have tools such as a can

opener, knife, whistle , batterypowered radio, several flashlights , and batteries. Each person

will need blankets , clothing, rain clothes, and heavy sole d shoes or boots. Lastly, put away

some cash and a copy of credit cards, passports, social security cards, phone numbers, and

insurance information. Once a year, check your supplies and determine if family needs have

changed.

4………

There's a big difference in the danger level between the two terms used during stormy

weather. A watch simply means that conditions are favourable for a tornado to develop. Be

alert , but you don't need to take shelter . If there's a warning, a tornado has been spotted .

When a warning is posted for your area, take shelter immediately.

5………

At 320 miles per hour, shards of glass can be deadly. You can eliminate this risk if you make

sure your shelter area is free of windows. If this isn't possible, protect yourself with a heavy

blanket.

6………

It's true that air pressure equalizes when there's an opening in the building, but the American

Red Cross says that it's far more important to get to safety than to open windows. If there's

flying debris, the windows will most likely break on their own!

7………

Never try to outrun a tornado. Get out of your vehicle and try to get inside a building. If

there isn't time, lie down flat in a ditch or any lowlying area away from the vehicle. (Hiding

below an underpass isn't safe because you're still exposed to flying debris.) Use your hands

and arms to protect your head.

8………

Treat injuries with your firstaid kit, but don't attempt to move anyone who is severely

injured. Use the phone only for emergencies, such as calling for an ambulance. Then, listen to

the radio for emergency information. If the building you are in is damaged, beware of broken

glass and downed power lines as you evacuate. Check on neighbours who might need

assistance, but otherwise stay out of the way so that emergency crews can do their work.
