Experts emphasize multiple warning methods, including weather radios, apps, and redundancy. Best shelter is enclosed underground or a strong above ground safe room with walls between you and debris, while in a car seek a building or abandon the vehicle if possible. Dress for disaster, prepare an emergency kit, and avoid unsafe options like ditches or overpasses.
