Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Advising all classrooms to shelter-in-place is the best immediate precaution to take in case of a tornado sighting. Evacuating the building can be dangerous and time-consuming, especially if the tornado is close by. Announcing a building lockdown may not provide enough protection, especially if the tornado is strong enough to cause significant damage. Calling families to pick up their child may not be feasible as they may also be affected by the tornado or unable to make it to the school in time, and it may not be safe for staff or children to leave the building.
