Tornado
Everyone on campus has a responsibility during a tornado emergency.
A list of these responsibilities is outlined below:
- Faculty will inform their class of the shelter location and lead them there. Once safely in the shelter you should take roll of students.
- Staff and employees will be led by supervisors to shelter locations.
- Visitors, students with no scheduled class and employees not in assigned shelters will check into the nearest shelter location and report to the emergency operations manager. EOM’s will make note of the visitor, student or employee so that proper accountability can be maintained.
Tornado Watch—the conditions in the areas specified are capable of producing tornadoes.
Tornado Warning—a tornado is actually on the ground or funnel rotation has been indicated by radar.
After the emergency is over, emergency personnel will give an all-clear signal. Based on the damage sustained, campus operations will resume or be suspended as determined by the University President, the Vice Presidents and the Director of Police and Safety.
