🌪️ Tornadoes can develop quickly with little warning, so it's important to know what to do before severe weather strikes.

If a tornado warning is issued, move immediately to the lowest level of a sturdy building and into an interior room away from windows. If you're outdoors or in a vehicle, seek sturdy shelter as soon as possible.

Have multiple ways to receive weather alerts and make sure your family knows where to take shelter.
