A) Building a house with a basement is the best solution for reducing harm to people and pets in the event of a tornado. Basements provide a safe space underground where individuals can seek shelter and be protected from the destructive force of a tornado. Planning an evacuation route in advance is also important, but it may not always be feasible to evacuate in time before a tornado strikes. Therefore, having a secure and fortified shelter like a basement offers the best protection during a tornado.
