In the event of a tornado warning within five miles of the college's main campus the NSCC alarm system will be activated. Evacuation Team Members have been assigned to all buildings and will ensure that all building occupants are notified.

In the event of a safe-area situation (i.e., tornado), the following message will be heard:

“May I have your attention please! The National Weather Service has issued a severe weather warning for our area. Please proceed to assigned safe areas.”

The Safety and Security Office closely monitor all weather situations. Please understand that our security office has access to the same weather information as other agencies. We are having brochures printed up with all this information and will hand them out with decals in addition to having them available throughout the campus.

1. According to weather forecasts, conditions may be right tomorrow (or later today) for tornado activity in our area. Therefore, this bulletin is an early notification so that you can make preparations here and at home.

2. Some common directives include:

• Stay away from windows and other loose or breakable objects that could become flying debris.
• Stay near interior walls.
• Keep one or more flashlights in your office and make sure they work.
• In the event of a tornado, do NOT pull a fire alarm.
• Evacuation Signal will sound. Everyone should proceed to assigned shelter areas.

3. Be aware of safe areas for all the buildings on campus and the suggested safest area in each building. In most cases, those areas will be the lowest possible floor of your building. If you have a question or your building is not listed, call Safety & Security at 353-3273.

4. Supervisors/Faculty: Review with your class or staff, which is the best way to reach the designated safest area in your building. Emphasize the importance of remaining calm.

5. Directors/Supervisors: Take 5 minutes with your people today to:

• Review the do's and don'ts of a tornado.
• Check your supply of flashlights/batteries, radios and other equipment that may be useful.
• Remind everyone of the safe areas in your building.
• AND IMPORTANTLY… discuss your policy with your staff about leaving campus during a severe storm or tornado to check on a situation at home or elsewhere.
• If you prepare today for possible severe weather tomorrow, this may lessen your need to leave campus if a severe storm or tornado strikes.
• LEAVING CAMPUS: Anyone who wishes to leave campus during a tornado warning should first check with his or her supervisor. It must be understood that people who leave campus are required to take either annual leave or unpaid leave—and are responsible for themselves.

6. Faculty: Please plan ahead for assignments/classroom work in case your class is interrupted tomorrow by an evacuation team member with a tornado warning or, in extreme circumstances, the campus should be closed. The closing of the campus is issued from the President's Office.

PLEASE COVER ALL YOUR BASES TODAY SO THAT YOU, YOUR WORK ASSOCIATES AND YOUR STUDENTS ARE WELL INFORMED AND SUFFICIENTLY PREPARED.
