Is This An Emergency?

Tornado or other inclement weather

In the event of a tornado or other inclement weather alert, a long, wavering intermittent civil defense siren will sound. Residence hall students should proceed immediately to the first floor residential hallways or bathrooms (away from lounge windows). If the siren sounds, it is usually too late to proceed to a remote protected area. Go to an interior room such as a hallway, closet, or bathroom. Crouch low to the floor, facing down, and cover your head with your hands. A bathtub may offer partial protection. Cover yourself with a mattress, blankets, etc. to protect against falling debris.

In the following situations, contact the RA on duty immediately. If needed, contact your residence hall front desk or the Cougar Village Commons and they will reach the RA on duty.
