Stay away from windows, outside doors, and corners. If you live in a mobile home seek shelter elsewhere, if none is available seek shelter in a low-lying area. Avoid cafeterias, gymnasiums, large hallways or auditoriums. Stay away from windows. If that is not available, lie in a ditch, culvert, or low-lying area until the storm has passed.
Tornadoes change directions very quickly.
Get out of your vehicle and find a low-lying area. The City has 12 outdoor warning sirens distributed throughout the City. The National Weather Service cancels warnings and cancellation can be verified by listing to a battery-powered radio. Galesburg's outdoor warning sirens are not designed to be heard in buildings. They are intended to warn those residents who are outdoors away from radios and televisions.
