Tornado Safety

Spring and early summer are tornado season. A tornado warning is the sounding of an emergency siren for three minutes followed by seven minutes of silence take cover.

At first notice of a tornado warning, you should:

• Stay inside away from windows, mirrors and glass.
• Find a safe place under heavy furniture for protection from falling objects; or
• Proceed to an inside hallway or below ground level.
• Do not use elevator.
• Remain in a safe area for at least 10 minutes after sirens stop sounding or until all clear signal is given
