\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n
  • When the sirens sound or a tornado has been sighted, SEEK SHELTER IMMEDIATELY<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  • Go to the designated severe weather shelter in your building (lowest level away from windows).<\/li>\n
  • Put as many walls between you and the outside as possible.<\/li>\n
  • If there is no basement, go to an interior room on the lowest level (closets, restrooms).<\/li>\n
  • In Mohn & Larson, go to the lowest level stairwells.<\/li>\n
  • Get out of vehicles, trailers and mobile homes immediately and seek shelter in a building.<\/li>\n
  • If caught outside, lie flat in a nearby ditch and cover your head with your hands and arms.<\/li>\n
  • NEVER try to outrun a tornado in a vehicle as they are erratic and move swiftly.<\/li>\n
  • Watch out for flying debris. Flying debris causes most of the injuries and fatalities.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/article>\n\n\t\t\t\n
