Disaster Plans
For the people who live in areas of frequent tornados, what is your plan when you know they are coming?
Why wait until you know they are coming? HOW do you know they are coming? Do you have three ways to get weather warnings?
Weather Radio
TV and Radio
cellphone or pager
Can you get warnings other ways?
Then, after you know, NOW is the time to make the plan. That is the purpose of the original question, from Lyle:
Shelter inside, lowest level, interior room.
Build a safe room or UNDERGROUND storm cellar
Do you need 72-hours supplies in your safe room? Sure do! What happens when you come out of the cellar and nothing's left? Where's your next meal?
Outside? Do NOT try to outrun the tornado. Exit the car. Go to a low place. Put YOU between the tornado and the car. In other words, get in the ditch.
Communications? Who do you need to call to tell them you are
Safe and Well? How will you call them?
Amateur Radio is a good tool.
