As you know the month of march is when we have the highest possibility of
having High Winds or Tornado's.
Our department would like for all Faculty, Staff and Students be aware of
this and what they could do to help.
SAFETY IN THE EVENT OF HIGH WINDS OR TORNADO
In the event of high winds or tornado related weather conditions,
the following safety procedures
are recommended:
· Avoid upper floors and especially the top floor of a multistory
building whenever possible.
The upper floors receive the full fury of the winds.
· Spaces in basement areas are better than locations on any other floor.
· Interior spaces - seek out spaces that form a part of a protected
interior core, if possible.
· Avoid rooms with exterior walls, especially those facing south and
west. Rooms facing north
usually receive the least damage of all exterior rooms.
· A room that is completely interior protects against missiles and
the wind tunneleffects.
· Avoid interior partitions that contain glass.
· Avoid rooms containing windows.
· Avoid rooms with wide roofs that could collapse easily, such as
the gym and auditoriums.
· If you are outside, go to the safest looking place (i.e., a ditch,
etc.)
*As in any severe weather condition, do not use phone. It may conduct
electricity to you.
If you are involved in a disaster such as this, after it has passed and
you feel there is no longer
a threat to your safety. CONTACT CAMPUS LAW AND ASSIST WITH THE INJURED!!
CALL CAMPUS POLICE AT 425-4357 OR 425-HELP
