Tornado tips
Funnel
clouds have been observed on every continent except Antarctica. The United States
has significantly more than the rest of the world because of lowlying geography and
a climate that
breeds
strong
thunderstorms
. With wind speeds up to 320 miles per hour,
tornadoes kill about 60 people every year in the United States when
uprooted
trees and
debris
turn into deadly
missiles
. Check out our list of tornado safety tips to get prepared!
1………
The safest location is always a
basement
, below the deadly wind and
projectile
objects. If
you can't go underground, find a small
interior
room or hallway on the lowest level of the
building.
2………
Make learning quick and fun, and children will remember the basics of what to do, especially
if you go through the motions several times. Just as most kids know what to do if their clothes
are on fire, the same drill could be applied for tornado safety instead of "Stop,
drop
, and
roll" try "Run,
duck
, and cover!"
3………
Experts recommend that each person (and pet) has
supplies
for at least three days, including
bottled water (two quarts per person, per day),
nonperis
hable food, and a firstaid kit that
includes
prescription
items as well as aspirin. Make sure you have tools such as a can
opener, knife,
whistle
, batterypowered radio, several
flashlights
, and batteries. Each person
will need
blankets
, clothing, rain clothes, and heavy
sole
d shoes or boots. Lastly, put away
some cash and a copy of credit cards, passports, social security cards, phone numbers, and
insurance
information. Once a year, check your supplies and
determine
if family needs have
changed.
4………
There's a big difference in the danger level between the two terms used during stormy
weather. A watch simply means that conditions are favourable for a tornado to develop. Be
alert
, but you don't need to take
shelter
. If there's a warning, a tornado has been
spotted
.
When a warning is posted for your area, take shelter immediately.
5………
At 320 miles per hour,
shards
of glass can be deadly. You can eliminate this risk if you make
sure your shelter area is free of windows. If this isn't possible, protect yourself with a heavy
blanket.
Bo nauka nie musi być nudna!
6………
It's true that air pressure
equalizes
when there's an opening in the building, but the American
Red Cross says that it's far more important to get to safety than to open windows. If there's
flying debris, the windows will most likely break on their own!
7………
Never try to
outrun
a tornado. Get out of your vehicle and try to get inside a building. If
there isn't time, lie down
flat
in a
ditch
or any lowlying area away from the vehicle. (Hiding
below an
underpass
isn't safe because you're still exposed to flying debris.) Use your hands
and arms to protect your head.
8………
Treat
injuries
with your firstaid kit, but don't
attempt
to move anyone who is
severely
injured. Use the phone only for emergencies, such as calling for an ambulance. Then, listen to
the radio for emergency information. If the building you are in is damaged,
beware
of broken
glass and downed power lines as you evacuate. Check on neighbours who might need
assistance, but
otherwise
stay out of the way so that emergency crews can do their work.
