What to do
Check the official alert
Use National Weather Service or local emergency alerts for current instructions.
Move to the safest appropriate place
For tornado warnings, use a basement or small interior room on the lowest floor away from windows. For other hazards, follow local official instructions.
Bring people and pets together
Account for everyone and bring essential medication and communication devices if time allows.
Stay informed
Keep alerts enabled and use a battery-powered radio if power or cellular service fails.
Wait for the all-clear
Do not leave shelter because conditions seem calmer; follow official guidance.
