place if ordered. - Remain calm and alert. - Relocate to
designated shelter areas; remain clear of glass windows or
doors. - If you cannot reach the designated area, use an
interior hallway on the lowest floor possible. - If you are
outside and unable to get to a building for protection, move
away from the tornado’s path at a right angle. If there is no
time to escape, lie flat in the nearest depression (i.e., ditch
or ravine).
