Tornado safety tips

Tornadoes are dangerous. They can cause millions of dollers in damage. You need to be prepared for tornadoes. They can come unexpectedly. You need a tornado precaution box in your storm shelter. If you do not have a basement or storm shelter, keep your tornado precaution box in easy reach so that you can quickly grab it and evacuate if you have to go to a nieghbors house. Here is a list of things you need for your tornado precaution box:

1. Batteries for flashlight and radio.
2. 2 flashlights.
3. A radio.
4. Non- perishable food.(granola bars. trail mix.)
5. Things for people who are old and babies.

Now we will start with our SAFETY TIPS.

1. A tornado watch means that conditions are right, start getting prepared!
2. A tornado warning means that a tornado or rotation has been sighted. Move into shelter now!
3. If no shelter is open you may crouch in a ditch if it is not raining. If there is no ditch, lay down
beside a strong or sturdy building.
4. If you do not have a basement or storm shelter, go to the center of the house on the lowest floor. The room can not have any windows. Make sure everyone is in the center of the room.

Now that you know some of the tornado safety, do them when a tornado is on the way!
