Ask your neighbor on the lower floor to open his or her apartment to you. The smaller the room, the safer you are. Have a battery-operated radio tuned to the nearest radio station. It will be your alarm system and will tell you the location of the tornado and its direction. The radio will tell you when it is safe to come out of your shelter and when the danger has passed.
Clouds are often a greenish-black color.
In the event of a tornado warning, evacuate your apartment and close the door. If you live on the second floor go to the apartment in the middle on the ground floor wait there until you receive an all clear signal from a Tech Village staff member before returning to your apartment. Remain there until otherwise notified. If you live on the lowest floor of the building, you may be asked to open your apartment to residents from the upper floor. Stay away from the windows, desk, beds, etc.
