Tornado Disaster Preparedness
Before a Tornado
- Prepare an emergency kit and make a family communications plan
- Listen to NOAA Weather Radio, commercial radio, or television newscasts
- Be alert to changing weather conditions and watch for approaching storms
Danger Signs Include:
- Dark, often greenish, sky
- Large hail
- A large, dark, low-lying cloud (especially when rotating)
- Loud roar, similar to a freight train
- If you see approaching storms or any of the danger signs, be prepared to take shelter immediately
