How can you reduce the effects of tornadoes

You can improve the odds of your home surviving

high winds by taking these precautions, but you won’t

make it tornado-proof. While these measures can’t

guarantee your safety, you can help your family be

better protected.

When a tornado approaches, go to the closest

identified shelter immediately. As previously

discussed, if you don’t have a storm cellar or inresidence “safe” room and you don’t have time to get

to a community shelter, head to the centermost part

of your basement or home, away from windows and

preferably under something sturdy like a workbench

or staircase.

Don’t open your windows. You won’t save the house,

as once thought and you will put yourself at risk of

injury from breaking glass. You also may actually make

things worse by giving wind and rain a greater chance

of getting inside.
