a dig that is supervised by an excavation company or contractor for roughing out a basement. Best time to do is before a house is built.
Simply speaking the basement is the safest, but if you do not have a basement, the lowest point in your house should be fine.
The best too for draining a flooded basement is a built-in sump pump. If your basement does not have a sump pump , you can rent a pump from most equipment rental stores. A wet/dry vacuum can also be used to remove water from a flooded basement.
No house can offer 100% protection from a tornado. The best option is a house with a basement to go to in case of a tornado.
One of the best ways to avoid water in the basement is to avoid water outside of your house as it may sink in through cracks and holes in the wall and into your basement.
If your basement is on fire the best thing to do is to shut the door to your house. Call 911 and shut off your gas supply to your house. This give the fire fighter more of a chance to get in there and stop it.
It is best to get you your basement or cellar. If you don't have one get to a room in the center part of your house on the lowest floor.
The basement would be best. Stay away from windows. If you don't have a basement, you should go into a bathtub and pull a matress over you. You could also go beneath a staircase.
If you have a basement that would be your best bet. Or find a small closet with no windows or around any window. Some homes have a closet underneath the stairs and that would be your best bet if you home lacks a basement.
Under a table, so the ceiling doesn't fall on u. or on in the basement of your house.
Usually just staying in your home is the best idea. If a Tornado Warning is issued then head to the basement of your house. If you do not have a basement, then go to the most centre part of your house, usually a bathroom. Hope that helps!
Go to your basement immediately. Find a corner without windows, crouch down and over your head. If you do not have a basement get to a room in the center part of your house on the lowest floor. A bathroom or closet is best. Again, stay away from windows.
