🌪️ Severe Weather Preparedness Week: Tornado Safety
Knowing the difference between a watch and a warning can save lives:
⚠️ Tornado Watch
Conditions are favorable for tornadoes to develop, but there is no immediate threat. Stay alert and be prepared.
🚨 Tornado Warning
A tornado has been detected, and an imminent threat to life and property has developed. Take shelter immediately.
🏠 If a tornado is imminent:
✅ Move to a pre-designated shelter on the lowest floor
✅ Put as many walls as possible between you and the outside
✅ Stay away from windows
🚗 Automobiles are not safe shelter — get out and seek a sturdy building.
🏚️ Mobile homes are dangerous in tornadoes — leave immediately and go to the lowest floor of a sturdy nearby building or storm shelter.
