| Before the Storm |
Watch the sky and stay tuned to NOAA Weather Radio, commercial radio, or television for information. |
| Indoors During a Tornado |
If you are inside a structure, put as many walls as possible between you and the outside. |
| Vehicles & Mobile Homes |
If in a vehicle or mobile home during a tornado, get out immediately and go to the lowest floor of a sturdy, nearby building. |
| Outdoors During a Tornado |
Lie flat in a nearby ditch or depression and cover your head with your hands. Be aware of the potential for flooding |
| Indoors During an Earthquake |
Stay inside. Research shows most injuries occur when people inside buildings attempt to move to a different location. |
| Outdoors During an Earthquake |
Stay there until shaking stops. The greatest danger exists directly outside buildings, exits, and alongside exterior walls. |
| In Your Car During a Flood |
Six inches of water will reach the bottom of most passenger cars causing loss of control and possible stalling. |

Avoid moving water. Six inches of moving water can make you fall. Use a stick to check the ground firmness in front of you. |
| Indoors During a Hurricane |
Remain indoors and away from windows and glass doors. Close all interior doors, secure and brace external doors. |
