Re: [californiadisasters] If a Tornado Were Headed Toward You, What Would You Do

One of our tornado preparedness articles can be downloaded at http://www.disasterprep101.com/documents/Tornadoes.pdf

It uses the acronym STORMS (Shelter, Time, Others, Resources, Medical, and Sweeping up) to categorize planning and reaction options.

*If a Tornado Were Headed Toward You, What Would You Do? *

By Fred Mann | The Wichita Eagle

WICHITA, Kan. — A lesson from the tragedy in Joplin, Mo., is that tornadoes
may strike with little or no warning, hidden by rain or nearly transparent
until they kick up dust and debris.

You might be shopping, visiting a nursing home, driving a car or attending a
movie.

Emergency officials recommend following these basic guidelines if you find
yourself in an unfamiliar place when a tornado approaches:

[Volcano_Vista_HS] Last Day of School, 5/31/2011, 12:00 am

Reminder from:		Volcano_Vista_HS Yahoo! Group

Title:		Last Day of School

Date:		Tuesday May 31, 2011
Time:		12:00 am - 1:00 am
Notes:		The NM Public Education Department denied our request for a waiver of the day of instruction missed on Feb. 4 due to the statewide gas shortage, therefore, APS will hold classes for students on Tuesday, May 31, the day after the Memorial Day holiday. Because this is the last day of school, it will be a half-day, which means schools will not serve lunch on this day.

We did indeed have damaging winds. LAFD reported both power lines down and a
tree down. I'm sure there was more.

Re: [californiadisasters] If a Tornado Were Headed Toward You, What Would You Do?

Yes. I didn't make any effort to elaborate on this, but the NOAA alert
system cooperates with local public safety to alert the public to
non-weather events. You've mentioned fires, and other need for evacuation;
they also do Amber Alerts (abducted children).

Further, many such radios can be programmed to pass through/alert on only
the areas and the events the user wants (e.g. you don't have to waken to the
siren every time an Amber Alert is broadcast, or even for flash flood
warnings for six counties away).

As you say, "one needs to stay alert for the unexpected".
