The safest thing to do is take cover where you are. Don’t try to run out of the building, because things could fall on you and hurt you. Disaster: Tornado Answer: Get out of the car, lie face down in a low area (ditch) and cover your head. You cannot out-drive a tornado! Tornadoes are unpredictable and can blow cars away. Disaster: Hurricane Answer: Leave if the warning tells you to do so and bring your emergency kit. Keep listening to the radio for instructions. Bring pets inside and stay away from windows and glass doors. Disaster: All Disasters Answer: Take your pets and family emergency kit: food, water, blankets, flashlight, radio, extra batteries, whistle, first aid kit, toilet paper, wipes, spare clothes, important papers, and medicine. 3 4 5 Disaster: Fire Answer: Crouch low to the floor (smoke rises). Take the fastest route out of the home. If the door to your room is hot, use another exit such as a window. Go to your family meeting place. 6 Disaster: Tornado Answer: Go to the lowest level of your home. If you do not have a basement, go to a bathroom or closet near the middle of the lowest floor of your home. 7 Disaster: Blizzard Answer: Use your family’s communication plan. Call your out- of-state contact to tell them where you are and get any information about where your family is. 8 Disaster: Thunderstorm Answer: You need a flashlight, extra batteries, warm blankets (if it is cold outside), and battery- operated radio. If you are there for more than a few hours, you need food and water as well. 9 Disaster: Flood Answer: Go to your family’s out-of - neighborhood meeting place such as a community center or library. 10 Disaster: Tsunami Answer: A tsunami may occur next. Tell the people around you and run to higher ground or go inland. If you can’t do either, go to the highest floor in a nearby building. 11 Disaster: Blizzard Answer: Stay in your car. Stay warm with blankets. Use your car emergency kit. Keep snow away from the exhaust pipe. Hang a colorful distress flag from the antenna. 12 Disaster: Fire Answer: Shut the bedroom door and get out of the house. Yell fire to any family members that might still be in the house. Call the fire department from the nearest neighbor’s house. 13 Disaster: Flash Flood Answer: Turn around and walk the other way. You won’t be able to tell how deep the water is and it may be moving faster than it appears. 14 Disaster: All Disasters Answer: Take pet food, collars, leashes and carriers for your furry friends and baby food, diapers, and blankets for small children. Bring medications that are needed for pets or babies. Disaster: Fire Answer: Install and regularly check fire detectors. Plan an easy exit route from each room. Designate a meeting spot outside your house to go when there is a fire. Disaster: All Disasters Answer: 1 Gallon. It is ideal to plan to have enough food and water in an emergency kit for each family member to last 3 days. 15 16 17 Disaster: Thunderstorm Answer: Use computers, phones, or appliances that plug in the wall. Stand near large windows. Go outside and stand under a tree. Go swimming in a pool. These are all harmful activities! 18 Disaster: Flood Answer: Tell your Dad that you should “Turn around, don’t drown!” Even 2 feet of rushing water can carry away most vehicles, even SUV’s.
