Tornado Preparedness

Tornados strike quickly and without warning. Follow these Red Cross guidelines to be prepared in case of a dangerous tornado. Or, visit the Red Cross store to shop for kits to keep any home, office, car or school prepared for any emergency.

Prepare a Disaster Kit Containing:

First aid kit and essential medications.
Canned food and can opener.
At least three gallons of water per person.
Protective clothing, bedding, or sleeping bags.
Battery-powered radio, flashlight, and extra batteries.
Special items for infant, elderly, or disabled family members.
Written instructions on how to turn off electricity, gas, and water if authorities advise you to do so. (Remember, you'll need a professional to turn natural gas service back on.)

Or, trust the experts at the Red Cross. Get prepared by shopping the store.

Prepare a Home Tornado Plan

Pick a place where family members could gather if a tornado is headed your way. It could be your basement or, if there is no basement, a center hallway, bathroom, or closet on the lowest floor. Keep this place uncluttered.
If you are in a high-rise building, you may not have enough time to go to the lowest floor. Pick a place in a hallway in the center of the building.

When a Tornado WARNING Is Issued...

If you are inside, go to the safe place you picked to protect yourself from glass and other flying objects. The tornado may be approaching your area.
If you are outside, hurry to the basement of a nearby sturdy building or lie flat in a ditch or low-lying area.
If you are in a car or mobile home, get out immediately and head for safety.

Prepare your home now. Shop the line of Red Cross recommended products.
