Statewide Tornado Drill on Friday 4/12

Lawrence will participate in the statewide tornado drill that will now occur on April 12, 2019 at 1:45pm and again at 6:45pm. We encourage all members of the Lawrence community to respond to the city-wide sirens appropriately, whether you are on or off campus. 

In preparation for the drill, we would like to take this opportunity to review tornado safety guidelines:

·         Tornado Watch: Conditions exist for a tornado to develop

·         Tornado Warning: A tornado has been sighted or indicated by weather radar

·         Signs of an approaching tornado can include dark, often greenish sky; large hail; and a large, dark low-lying cloud

·         Signs of a tornado can include a rotating, funnel-shaped cloud; an approaching cloud of debris; and/or a loud roar (similar to the sound of a freight train) 

When a tornado warning is issued for our area, Lawrence community members should take all appropriate safety precautions. The primary shelter safety guidelines to respond to a tornado warning are as follows:

  • Seek shelter immediately
  • Shelter in lower level, small, interior rooms
  • Stay away from windows, doors or exterior walls
  • If you are outside when a tornado occurs and are unable to take inside shelter, lie flat in a ditch or depression and protect your head. Avoid large trees, metal poles and other electrical conductors. Vehicles should not be used as shelter.
  • Information can also be found on the emergency procedure plans posted throughout campus buildings. 

Please also note that Appleton’s weekly test of its warning sirens has started. City-wide sirens will be activated every Saturday at noon now through November.

Thank you for everyone’s cooperation.
