At-Home Safety Tips to Practice:
- Go to the lowest level of your home.
- Move to an interior room away from windows (bathroom, closet, hallway).
- Put as many walls between you and the outside as possible.
- Protect your head and neck with your arms, a helmet, or a sturdy object.
- Have a weather radio or reliable alert system ready.

We strongly encourage everyone to still participate by safely practicing your tornado safety plan at home, work, or school. Taking a few minutes to prepare today can make all the difference during a real emergency.
