Tornado

If notified of a tornado warning:

• Proceed immediately to the nearest tornado shelter. Tornado shelter signs are posted in buildings or visit Emergency Management Tornado Safety to view or download maps.
• If your building has no basement, go to lowest level and seek shelter in a hallway or restroom near the center of the building and without windows.
• Use elevators if you have a disability or are helping a person with a disability.
• Stay away from windows, glass, stairwells, and unsecured objects.
• Unless an emergency situation exists, DO NOT call 911 or Central Dispatch.
• Remain in shelter until the "All Clear" message is given.
• If outdoors, lie in low-lying ditch, culvert or at low land levels. Protect your face and head.
