Karen
zemeks.blogspot.com | "A very original concept for a website and completely practical. Of even more importance than the list of excellent measures for a disaster is the persuasive air of impending alarm. It has, indeed, some of the qualities of "Silent Spring". An important site for all thinking people!"

Hurricane and Tornado Survival Guide
Before a Hurricane, Tornado, or Storm
You might have some warning before disasters, such as hurricanes, tornadoes, and storms, but not much and these can be devastating to their victims.
You may have evacuated before a hurricane or not. Tornadoes and storms are a bit less predictable and hardly anyone, in reality evacuates ahead of these.
Besides high winds, flying debris, and lightning, hurricanes, tornadoes, and storms cause gas leaks, fires, polluted water, and other life-threatening disasters. The steps you take now will help you prepare for disaster that could strike in your community.
How to Get Prepared
Be sure to read the lists on Basic Disaster Survival Guide and get ready. It’s too late later.
Know how and where to shut off utilities.
- Location of main water valve
- Location of gas valve and location of wrench.
- Main electricity switch.
Draw a floor plan of your home showing the location of exit doors and windows, utility shutoffs, first aid kit, and emergency supplies.
- Ensure everyone in your household is familiar with it.
During a Hurricane, Tornado, or Storm
If you are indoors STAY THERE. Move away from windows. Go to a basement or small inner room such as a bathroom or closet or get under a sturdy table or desk and hold onto it. If there is no desk or table to get under, brace yourself in an interior corner. Stay away from windows, as they can shatter.
- If you are outdoors, move to an open area away from buildings, trees, power poles, brick or block walls and other objects.
- If you are in an automobile, stop and stay in it until the storm ends. Avoid stopping near trees, power lines, or bridges.
- If you are indoors, the safest place is underground. If you don’t have a basement, go to a small inner room or get under a desk, table, or any sturdy object.
After a Hurricane, Tornado, or Storm Disaster
- Put on heavy shoes immediately to avoid injury from stepping on glass.
- Locate a light source, such as a flashlight, if necessary.
- Check for injuries and administer first aid.
- Check for fires and fire hazards.
- Sniff for gas leaks, starting at the hot water heater. If you smell gas, hear a hissing sound or suspect a leak, turn off the main gas valve, open the windows and carefully leave the house. DO NOT TURN LIGHTS ON OR OFF. DO NOT STRIKE MATCHES.
- If necessary, turn off the electrical system at the main circuit breaker or fuse box.
- Listen for advisories using a battery powered radio. The primary Emergency Alert System station.
- Do not touch downed power lines or objects touching downed wires. Do not stand in water near downed lines.
- Remove fallen debris that may cause personal injury.
- Assess house, roof, and chimney for damages.
- Do not use the phone except in emergencies. Only call 911 for life threatening emergencies. Have a plug-in analog phone in case the power is out, but phone lines are still working.
- For general and updated disaster information, call 211.
- Cooperate with public safety officials.
- Be prepared to evacuate when/if necessary.
- DO NOT GO SIGHTSEEING! (But check on your neighbors.)

In researching these quizzes, I tried to find info from experts who seemed to know what they were talking about, as opposed to the other kind. And I aimed to get multiple confirmations of the facts I’ve included.
Sources I used included Cresson Kearny’s Nuclear Survival Skills, The U.S. Army Survival Manual, The Red Cross, many guides to biological, chemical, natural, and nuclear disasters, many survival and first aid guidebooks, and interviews with experts.
