The Office of
Safety and Security monitors the National Weather Service for severe
weather alerts that effect the Evansville area and the University. |
Tornado Warnings
In case of a Tornado Warning, which means a funnel cloud has been
spotted in the area, the Security Officers will alert all classes and
meetings in academic facilities that are not covered by the
Informacast System and advise everyone to take shelter.
A list of shelter
areas for Academic Facilities, Residential Halls, and Villages housing
is maintained on the
Shelter Locations & Areas page. |
Basic guidelines to follow in event of severe weather or tornado:
|
- Move to the
safest area of the building you are in. See the 'Shelters Locations
page'.
- Stay out of
stairwells to avoid wind tunnel effects.
- Attempt to warn
others but do not put yourself in danger.
- STAY AWAY
FROM WINDOWS, DOORS, AND OUTSIDE WALLS, PROTECT YOUR HEAD.
- After the
tornado has passed call 6911 if emergency help is needed.
- Do not leave
the building unless a fire ensues or you are given the all clear.
- If in your
vehicle and you see a tornado, exit your vehicle and move away from it
and take shelter or get to a low area and lay down.
