Tornadoes

In the event the National Weather Service issues a tornado warning here are some tips to help keep you safe:

� Go to a basement or the lowest level of the building where you are.

� Seek shelter in an interior room or closet.

� Do not open windows. This will not prevent strong winds from damaging your home.

� If you live in a mobile home or manufactured housing seek shelter in a sturdy site-build structure.

� When traveling in a vehicle do not attempt to outrun the storm. Abandon the vehicle and take shelter in a low lying area or ditch.

The State Emergency Operations Center in Pearl will be monitoring the weather situation and assisting counties if requested.
