How to Prepare for a Tornado at Work
- 1). Buy a battery-powered or crank weather radio. This radio will allow you to follow the weather news even if the power goes out.
- 2). Make a first aid kit. A basic kit will do. You need one in case of minor injuries if a tornado does hit your work building.
- 3). Pick a safe room in your work building to go to when there is danger of a tornado. This room should be an interior room with no windows on the lowest floor possible, or in the basement if there is one.
- 4). Prepare a blanket and travel pillow. Sometimes tornado watches and warnings can last overnight. For your own safety, you will have to stay in your safe room of choice
- 5). Put together your emergency kit. Put the radio, first aid kit, blanket and travel pillow in a portable container. Add some canned goods that won't perish. Use a backpack, shopping bag or box. This makes all your items easily accessible and portable in case of an emergency. Keep your kit in your office in a place you can easily get to and where it won't be bothered or in the way.
