Pay attention to local weather alerts. If the possibility of severe weather is mentioned for your area, keep a battery-powered weather radio handy. Local news stations will usually give weather forecasts a few times a day. You can also see all active weather alerts in the US by going to the National Weather Service website.

You should remain highly alert and vigilant during a tornado. Pay close attention to weather alerts, listen to local authorities, and take shelter immediately in a safe location such as a basement or storm cellar. Stay away from windows and doors, and cover yourself with a mattress or heavy blankets for added protection.
