If you are in a car during an earthquake, slow down and look for an open area if possible. Then, stop the car and stay inside. Avoid stopping near or under trees, buildings, freeways, power lines, or other hazards that may fall onto the car. Turn off the engines and stay fastened on your seatbelt.

My response to a tornado watch would depend on where I am at the moment.

If I’m inside the house, I’m going to close all doors and windows and stay far away from them. I’ll stay in the basement or in a central room on the lowest floor of the house. When the tornado comes, I’ll crouch down to the ground, and cover myself with a blanket to protect myself from small falling debris.

If I’m in the car, it’s best to pull over and try to find the nearest safe place to stay.

* Loss of communication (radio)
* Thirst and/or starvation (food and water)
* Feeling cold that could lead to hypothermia (blankets)
* Lack of proper wound or injury care that could lead to infection (first aid)
* Anxiety and Stress
