What to do when you hear the sirens:
When the sirens are activated, you should go inside and turn on a television or radio for more information. You may also wish to have a NOAA weather alert radio available. If a Tornado Warning is issued you should do the following.

In a home or building, move to a pre-designated shelter, such as a basement.
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.
Stay away from windows.
Do not try to outrun a tornado in your car; instead leave it immediately.
If caught outside or in a vehicle, lie flat in a nearby ditch or depression.
Mobile homes, even if tied down, offer little protection from tornadoes and should be abandoned.
