Emergency officials are urging residents to identify safe shelter locations before tornado warnings are issued, as part of Fall Severe Weather Preparedness Week.
Experts recommend seeking shelter in a basement or an interior room on the lowest floor of a sturdy building, away from windows. Protecting the head and neck is advised during a tornado.
The Missouri Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) has released a video highlighting key tornado safety tips to help residents stay safe during severe weather events.
