Staying Safe During a Tornado: On-Campus Shelters Available
OSU Provides List of Buildings with Basements for Severe Weather
Be Prepared: Find Shelter in Case of a Tornado Warning
When severe weather strikes, it's crucial to seek shelter immediately. In the case of a tornado, you must find an area of refuge to protect yourself from the devastating winds and flying debris. Oklahoma State University (OSU) recognizes this responsibility and has taken steps to provide students, faculty, and staff with designated shelter areas during severe weather events.
OSU has compiled a list of on-campus buildings that have designated basement areas for use as tornado shelters. These buildings are strategically located throughout the campus and provide safe havens for those in need. In the event of a tornado warning, you should seek shelter in one of these buildings as soon as possible.
It's important to note that the onus is on each individual to find shelter in the event of a tornado. OSU provides the designated shelter areas, but it is your responsibility to be aware of your surroundings and take appropriate action when necessary. Be sure to familiarize yourself with the locations of the designated shelter areas and have a plan in place for seeking shelter if a tornado warning is issued.
In addition to the designated shelter areas, OSU also provides a wealth of resources to help you prepare for and respond to tornadoes and other severe weather events. These resources include:
- Tornado safety guidelines
- Emergency evacuation procedures
- Severe weather preparedness kits
- Weather alerts and notifications
By being prepared and knowing where to seek shelter in the event of a tornado, you can help ensure your safety and the safety of those around you. Stay alert to weather forecasts, follow the instructions of university officials, and seek shelter immediately if a tornado warning is issued.
