If a tornado alert is sounded, the first thing you do is to grab your most valuable items. These items MUST include the following;
- Medkit
- Food
- Water
- Other items such as inflatable devices (Optional)

Try to get on high grounds, as far away from the shore as possible. If you're caught in the water, get a grip on something that floats. NEVER hold on to a tree when you have time to get to high grounds. Preferred high grounds would include, but are not limited to, the following;
- Mountains
- Hills (must be fairly high and away from shore)
