[USAO-Robertson] Be weather aware

[Nancy Hughes]

University Community,

Please be weather aware throughout today and tonight as the National Weather Service has indicated the strong possibility of severe weather. These storms will be capable of high winds, hail, flooding and possible tornadoes.

TORNADO AND SEVERE WEATHER PRECAUTIONS

WHEN A WARNING SIREN IS ACTIVATED
It means there is a TORNADO WARNING and you should seek shelter immediately in a designated SAFE ZONE location.

Available Campus SAFE ZONES are:

  *   Station 82 and Drovers' Den  (Student Center Basement)
  *   Nash Library First Floor (lower level)

If you do not have time to get to a safe zone or evacuate the building you are in, do the following:


  1.  If outside, move indoors as quickly as possible.  Do not go outdoors to see the storm.
  2.  Move to the lowest level of the building.
  3.  Go to small interior room or hallway.  Stay on interior walls, away from windows and doors.
  4.  Do not use elevators because electrical power may fail, trapping you in the elevator.
  5.  Use furniture or other available material as protective barriers and shields.
  6.  Use the telephone for emergency call ONLY.
  7.  STAY CALM AND ALERT
  8.  Call Security at 222-8066 to report any damage on campus.
  9.  Remain in your location or SAFE ZONE until it is safe to leave.
  10. You are advised not to leave campus in your vehicle.  If you are in your vehicle when the storm approaches, seek shelter in a building or ditch.  Automobiles are dangerous during high winds.

Should storms develop the university will keep you informed through Drover Alert, the university notification system.  If you have not signed up or updated your information on Drover Alert, please visit:  https://usao.edu/current-students/campus-safety-security/drover-alert-emergency-notification-system.

* Please note that USAO is not a public shelter. This message is intended for university residents that may be impacted by the weather.  Safe spots will be open Student Center and Nash Library for students and the public to access at their own risk.
