- Identify a safe room in your home where everyone gathers during a storm — away from windows, skylights and glass doors.
- If there’s a tornado, gather in a basement, storm cellar or interior room on the lowest floor.
- Remove dead or rotting trees and branches that could fall and cause injury or damage.
- Bring inside or tie-down garbage cans and lawn furniture.
- Use surge protectors — a safety electrical plug that will shut off the power if lightning strikes to prevent damage to your computer and other household items.
