Gives Information
For Tornado .Season
Tornado season is again
upon us and citizens need
to be aware of terminology
and procedures in order to
take appropriate action
when a tornado approaches.
Immediate action may mean
the difference between life
and death.
A Tornado Watch is
given when the possibility of
a tornado exists.
A Tornado Warning is
issued when a tornado has
been spotted or indicated
on radar.
A person should take the
following action when in any
of these situations:
1. Seek inside shelters,
preferably a cellar,
underground excavation, or
steel-framed or reinforced
concrete building of sub-
stantial construction. Stay
away from windows.
2. When in office build-
ings, stay in an inside hall-
way or on the lowest floor.
3. In homes, go to the
basement or the lowest level
(a closet, bathroom, or
interior hall). If you are in a
mobile home or a vehicle,
leave and go to a substantial
structure. If there is no
shelter nearby, lie flat in the
nearest ditch, ravine, or
culvert with your hands
shielding your head.
4. In schools, go to an
interior hallway on the low-
est floor. Avoid auditoriums
or gymnasiums or other
structures with wide, free-
span roofs.
Remember: tornado
watch means tornado is
expected; tornado warning
means a tornado has actual-
ly been sighted.

In reference to
