What to do
- Enter a sturdy building, away from windows and large halls.
- Outside: move to nearest shelter, shielding your head with arms or a bag. Avoid isolated trees and wires.
- In a car: stop safely, keep head and face away from glass and shield your head. For a tornado threat, use that guide.
- Help from shelter. Do not go into hail to save belongings.
- Injured or trapped people: call emergency services from safety. Report location, numbers and hazards.
What to avoid
- Do not wait under skylights or beside windows.
- A metal roof does not guarantee protection from large hail. Do not go out to inspect damage.
