You would want good insurance, a good safe for jewels, documents, etc., you would want a good first-aid kit, plenty of flashlights, underground places to go (like a basement or perhaps just a closet that doesn't have fallable items). You would want to learn how to be very safe and what to do when perhaps a tornado does end up coming (God forbid it) like the classic on the knees, cover head and stay low lesson. Don't forget fresh water. blankets, battery radio and extra batteries. If you go to your basement , stay near the walls or the exit door. If a house caves in, it usually goes center first.Do the duck and cover when you actually hear"the train coming". It does really sound like that when it's right over you. When it's safe to come out, watch out for down power lines. Keep canned foods and juices in pantry or basement;if cool] make sure you have can openers.Shut off gas main at your house if any chance of a leak.Small towns usually have a tornado siren. For the start and the all clear. Don't come out til you hear the all clear, there may be smaller tornados coming . Listen to your transistor radio as much as possible for updates.
- Check the news before and evacuate is necsisary. If not:
- Have food, medical supply, and water on hand.
- Battery powered flashlights.
- Stay in a room with no windows, such as a big closet.
- stay calm! play a game in the closet.

Many people will try to take cover under a bridge, but, for a number of reasons, this is a bad idea.
