Emergency Preparedness

Severe Winds

 

  • Windstorms severe enough to cause damage may occur at infrequent intervals and may be accompanied by torrential rains.

  • At the time of warning of impending severe winds, property and equipment not properly anchored should be moved inside a building or tied down. Close windows.

  • The best protection in severe winds is in permanent buildings. As a result, steps will be taken to ensure the safety of students/personnel within buildings rather than to evacuate.

  • Time permitting, students in temporary structures will be moved to a permanent structure.

  • Immediately after the cessation of severe winds, Facilities Management & Planning and Public Safety will inspect the campus for damage.
