Tornado Safety Checklist

Students evaluate a list of actions that people might take during a tornado, marking each as SAFE or UNSAFE. They assess whether choices-such as going to a basement, hiding under a sturdy table, or sheltering under a bridge-would protect or endanger someone during a tornado. This worksheet builds decision-making skills and teaches life-saving safety practices. Students then identify their top three tornado safety rules, reinforcing readiness and responsible behavior.
