In the event of a severe storm or tornado warning, take shelter immediately in the shelter areas below on campus. 

If you are not on campus or sure of an adequate shelter area, go to the lowest level of a nearby building and stay away from windows, glass, and doors.

While city warning sirens are helpful, don’t solely rely on them for adequate notice. If you have a smart phone, install an app that can give you immediate notice. Locally, KWWL offers text alerts to your phone.  If interested, go to the following site and enroll: http://www.kwwl.com/link/409099/kwwl-mobile-alerts-sign-up
