Please see the info on the Emergency and Emergency Response Guide and Campus Wide Tornado Locations and review the following for your safety:

  • Tornado WATCH: If a tornado “watch” is issued for your area, it means that a tornado is “possible.” (listen to eAlert System, radio, or TV for additional details)
  • Tornado WARNING: If a tornado “warning” is issued, it means that a tornado has actually been spotted, or is strongly indicated on radar, and it is time to go to a safe shelter immediately. If a tornado warning is issued seek shelter in the following places:
  1. Basement or ground floor windowless interior room
  2. Basement or ground floor windowless closet or bathroom
  3. Basement or ground floor interior hallway with no windows or under a stairwell with no windows
