Search Menu Tornados Home Departments Emergency Preparedness Tornados How to Deal with a Tornado Shelter Seek inside shelter if possible. If in the open, move away from a tornado’s path at a right angle. If there is no time to escape, lie flat in the nearest depression, such as a ditch or ravine. In Office Buildings In Homes With Basements In Homes Without Basements Mobile Homes Avoid Avoid factories, auditoriums, and other large buildings with wide, free span roofs. Preselected shelter areas should be located in basements, smaller rooms or nearby. Parked Cars Are Unsafe Do not use cars as shelter during a tornado or severe windstorm; however, as a last resort, if no ravine or ditch is nearby, crawl under the car for protection from flying debris. How To Prepare Tornado contact with the ground (funnel cloud) occurs with very little advance warning. The wisest action is to be prepared in advance to cover all disasters (including a tornado). Emergency Kit Action Plan – Sit down as a family and discuss what action should be taken if someone is shopping, at school, at work or visiting friends. Rendezvous – Make sure part of your plan includes a meeting place and a way of communicating if separated during an emergency. Mobility – During storm season, keep a full tank of gas in the car at all times.
