Storm shelter signs have been placed across the campus to identify locations that meet one or more of the safety location requirements in the event of a tornado warning.
If the sign is located on or immediately next to a door, the safe location is on the other side of the door. If the sign is located on the wall, the safety location is in the area around the sign.
A Tornado Safety Location is one that:
(When all three of these criteria cannot be met in a building, the safety location is the place that best meets them.)
Upon notification of a tornado warning, all persons should proceed to a tornado safety location inside their buildings, assisting those who need assistance and ensuring that those under their jurisdiction also go to the safety location. Whenever possible, employees will maintain an approximate head count of the persons from their areas. All building occupants are to remain in the safety location until the Tornado Warning has expired or until notified that the danger has passed.
This list may not be complete; please look for the signage or best safety location as described above.
