Emergency Actions and Evacuation Plans

Campus Emergency Response Guide

Severe Weather Sheltering: There are no specific areas designated and therefore all occupants are instructed to follow National Weather Service (NWS) general guidance for seeking shelter in an available basement or a small interior room without windows on the lowest floor. In cases of severe weather threats not associated to dangerous wind conditions or other severe thunderstorm factors, individuals should follow the guidance of NWS and other public safety messaging (i.e. avoid outdoor activities during wind chill warnings).
