In Mankato / Owatonna Cities, we know about the dangers of tornadoes. Storm damage, water damage, and high winds can cause death, injuries, and property destruction.

SERVPRO of Mankato / Owatonna Cities knows that tornadoes can rise up quickly. We may not always be able to get to shelter.

If you are caught outside during a tornado in Mankato / Owatonna Cities:

• Do not try to outrun a tornado in your car. Tornadoes can flip cars
• Do not use your car as a shelter
• You are safer in a low, flat location
• Do not hide under a bridge or an overpass. Structures can collapse
• Shield your head and neck with your arms
• You can use blankets or coats for more shielding
