Family Taking Cover

In a home or building, move to a predesignated shelter, such as a basement or the lowest floor of your home. Do not worry about which corner to go to in the basement. Instead, get under a sturdy piece of furniture or a workbench. If an underground shelter is not available, move to an interior room or hallway on the lowest floor and get under a sturdy piece of furniture.
