- Tornado Watch: conditions are favorable for a tornado.
- Tornado Warning: seek shelter.
- Ranger Alert is the primary communication method for severe weather emergencies.
- There’s also an outdoor siren at the SAC, which may or may not be heard inside buildings.
- The primary academic complex shelter location is the “D2” basement level.
- The primary residence hall shelter locations are the restrooms.
- If you can’t safely reach D2, then please seek shelter away from exterior glass in an interior room or corridor.
- Avoid free-span roofs during a tornado, like we have in the gymnasiums and pool.
- Know your department’s procedure for shut-down of business activities and for moving yourself, coworkers and students to shelter areas.
