Most of you are aware of the precautions to be taken in the event of a severe weather warning, most of which are common sense, but there are a few specifics that apply to campus.

1. The campus warning siren is sounded only when a funnel has been sighted and observed moving toward the campus. Don't ignore it. No "all clear" signal is given so as to avoid confusion in the event of multiple funnels being observed.
2. Recommended emergency office equipment: flashlight, portable radio, spare batteries, first aid kit.
3. The greatest hazard is from flying glass, so designated emergency tornado shelter areas for Academic and Service Buildings are as follows:

Akers Energy Center - Restrooms and closets
Albertson Hall - Interior first floor corridors in the old (north) section, away from entrances and windows
Brooks Building - Interior rooms or basement of Grounds Building
Cunningham Hall - Interior corridors
Custer Hall - Basement and basement hallway
Davis Hall - Interior corridors in the east wing. The shop wing should be evacuated.
Forsyth Library - Basement
Gross Coliseum - Under balcony, away from entrances
Grounds Building - Basement
Heather Hall - Corridor between main studio and storage room
Malloy Hall - Interior corridors
Martin Allen Hall - Southeast corner of main floor
McCartney Hall - Interior corridors (2nd and 3rd floors), center of first floor
Memorial Union - Recreation Center in basement (not in stairwell) Motor Pool - Parts room
Picken Hall - Center of lower level corridor
Rarick Hall - Interior corridors
Sheridan Hall - Interior corridors, lower level or basement
Sternberg Museum - First floor, under mezzanine
Stroup Hall - Interior corridor between Computer Lab and Practice Laboratory
Tomanek Hall - Interior corridors, lower level
Witt Building - Interior hallway

McMindes and Wiest Halls - lower levels, interior corridors away from windowss
Wooster Place - Residents are advised to take shelter in their apartments; use their judgment

Please report damage or injury to your building supervisor, if possible, for relay to either the University Police or the Physical Plant. Multiple reports of the same event cause confusion. The following numbers will normally be attended in an emergency:

1. Campus Operator 0 or 628-4000
2. University Police 628-5304
3. Physical Plant 628-4424, 628-4180, 628-4238

Please do not call to report a power outage. The campus is on one system, so if one building is out, they all are. Call only if a true emergency exists. Thank you.
