Question

In the middle of the night, you hear a tornado siren. Which step should you take?

Map an evacuation route.
Go to your basement.
Board up your windows.
Open your window.

Answer 1

Go to your basement.

A tornado siren means take immediate shelter — preferably in a basement or an interior room on the lowest floor away from windows. Don’t open windows or spend time boarding them; mapping routes is planning, not immediate action. Protect your head and listen to emergency information.
