both) as well as bottled water,
extra prescription medications
and a first aid kit in your shelter
area.
Remember, if a tornado strikes
electricity, gas, water and sewer
service may be disrupted for
several days.
Mobile homes and automo-
biles are dangerous places to
be during a tornado. If you
live in a mobile home, make
sure all family members know
where the nearest substantial
shelter is. If you are in your mo-
bile home or car and can’t get
to a better shelter; go outside,
lie down in the nearest ravine,
ditch or culvert and cover your
head with your hands. Be aware
of the possibility of flooding in
low-lying areas. Do not hide un-
der your mobile home or car be-
cause both can easily be picked
up and carried away by a tor-
nado.
Periodically hold a tornado
drill so that family members
know what to do and where to go
if the national weather service
issues a tornado warning. The
safest part of a house during
a tornado traditionally is the
basement, but be aware of the
potential for flooding if there
is heavy rain in the area.
Interior bathrooms, hallways
and closets on the ground
floor also offer protection from
tornadic winds. Avoid windows
and outside walls. Take along
blankets or sleeping bags to
protect yourself from falling
debris and shattering glass,
which are frequently cause of
death, and injury during a
tornado.

Offers Tips On Tornadoes
Governor Ann W. Richards
has designated the week of drive away from it in your car.
March 8-14, 1992 as Severe ~
Weather Awareness Week in
Texas. The National Weather
Service and the Texas Insur-
ance Advisory Association have
joined with DEM to promote se-
vere weather awareness to the
citizens of our state.
Knowing the difference be-
tween a tornado watch and a tor-
nado warning could save your
life. A watch means conditions
are right for tornadoes to form.
A warning means a tornado has
been sighted in your area, and
you should take cover quickly.
Tornadoes can strike at any
time, any place, in Texas.
Listen to National Weather
Service Bulletins for weather
information. If a warning is
issued or you see a tornado, Make certain you have a
immediately take shelter below portable radio and several flash-
ground or m an interior hallway lights (and fresh batteries for
