← HomeWhere should I shelter?
Use the safest sturdy shelter available to you as quickly as possible.
- Go to a basement if one is available.
- Otherwise use a small interior room on the lowest floor.
- Stay away from windows and exterior walls.
- Put as many walls between you and the outside as possible.
- Protect your head and neck with your arms, a helmet, blankets, or a mattress if available.
Mobile/manufactured homes are not safe tornado shelters. Move to a sturdy building or designated storm shelter before severe weather arrives when possible.
