During a tornado, stay calm, and quickly follow the steps outlined below:

• If indoors, seek shelter in the lowest level of the building. Interior hallways or rooms are preferable. KEEP AWAY FROM WINDOWS.
• If outdoors, take cover in the nearest ditch or depression, away from power lines, buildings, and trees. DO NOT STAY IN A VEHICLE OR ATTEMPT TO OUTRUN THE TORNADO.
• After the tornado has passed, evaluate the situation, and, if emergency help is necessary, contact 911. Be aware at all times of dangerous structural conditions around you.
• Damaged facilities should be reported to the University Police Department at 256.765.4357.

               NOTE: Gas leaks and power failure create special hazards. Please refer to the section on UTILITY FAILURE.

• ASSIST THE DISABLED IN EVACUATING THE BUILDING. Remember that elevators are reserved for use only by persons with disabilities.  DO NOT USE ELEVATORS IN CASE OF FIRE!
• Once outside, move to a clear area away from the affected buildings. Keep streets and walkways clear for emergency vehicles and personnel.
• If requested, assist the University Police Department and/or other responsible party.
  
• Do not return to an evacuated building unless directed to do so by the University Police Department or other responsible party.
  
• STAY CALM. All emergency response efforts will require clear thinking and cooperation from all members of the campus community.
