Tornado Warning in Crestview?

8/5/2022 (Permalink)

We restore storm damage 24-hours a day in Okaloosa County.

Our local team in Crestview, DeFuniak Springs, and Chipley wants everyone to be prepared in the event of a tornado. Here is some information from the Federal Emergency Management Agency:

If there is a tornado warning, you should take shelter immediately. To stay safe during a tornado, follow these steps:

• Immediately go to a safe location such as a safe room, basement, storm cellar, or a small interior room on the lowest level of a sturdy building
• Stay away from windows, doors, and outside walls
• Protect yourself by covering your head or neck with your arms and putting materials such as furniture and blankets around or on top of you

Do not try to outrun a tornado if you’re in your car. Additionally:

• Do not go under an overpass or bridge. You’re safer in a low, flat location.
• Watch out for flying debris that can cause injury or death.

Even after a tornado passes, it’s important to stay alert and use caution when clearing debris.

• Stay clear of fallen power lines or broken utility lines
• Wear appropriate gear during clean-up, such as thick-soled shoes, long pants, and work gloves, and use appropriate face coverings or masks if cleaning mold or other debris
• Do not enter damaged buildings until you are told they are safe
