TORNADO WARNING
     If you are at the Jackson County Health Department when a tornado warning has been issued, a JCHD employee will take you to a designated "tornado shelter" within the building.  Once you are situated in the shelter area, if possible, assume a kneeling position, head down, with hands covering your head.  Wait until the ALL CLEAR signal is announced and you will then be taken back to your previous location.
     If you are at the Jackson County Health Department after there has been an actual tornado strike of our facility, JCHD staff will evaluate injuries, administer first aid, and take appropriate action.

TORNADO SAFETY RULES:
     ●     In other buildings move to a small interior room or hallway on the lowest floor and get under a sturdy piece of furniture.  Put as many walls as possible between you and the outside.
     ●     Be aware of flying debris.  Flying debris from tornadoes causes most fatalities and injuries.  Stay away from windows.
     ●     Get out of automobiles.  Do not try to outrun a tornado in your car; instead, leave it immediately for safe shelter.
     ●     If caught outside or in a vehicle, lay flat in a nearby ditch or depression and cover your head with your hands.
