Most areas in the world get tornadoes, so most people in the world have at least some risk of being injured by a tornado. Obviously, the risk is greater in areas prone to strong tornadoes, such as the central and southern United States. The type of housing and shelter is also a factor. People who live in trailer homes or other homes of weak construction, as well as those without access to underground shelter are at an increased risk of being injured or killed in a tornado.
