GENERAL INFORMATION
Sheltering Places for the
Residence Halls
In the event that Tornado/Severe Weather Sirens are
sounded and the University’s residents should need
to shelter, please seek out the following sheltering
places:
• Beta/Gamma: Take shelter within bathrooms,
as there are no windows in this area and it is an
interior room.
• Delta 3-6: Take shelter within bathrooms, as there
are no windows in this area and it is an interior
room.
• Epsilon 1 & 2: Take shelter in the 1st floor hallways
and away from the exterior doors and the doors
leading to the entrance of the hallways.
• Fraternity & Sorority Housing (except Sigma
Chi): Take shelter in both the Left and Right room
corridors on the 1st floor. The corridor behind the
stairwell may be utilized as well.
• Sigma Chi will use the interior side of the
Men’s Study room for shelter.
• Stokes Hall:
• 1st floor residents should seek shelter in the

How to Prepare for a Potential
Power Outage
Please remember that during severe weather, there is
a possibility for electrical outages and other impacts
to campus. During an electrical outage, all lighting,
power outlets, air conditioning, heating, and the
internet could be affected (including laundry rooms).
• Computers and other electronic equipment are
sensitive to electrical outages. We recommend
unplugging this equipment before the potential
outage.
• For rooms with stoves/ovens: Remember to check
that all cooking appliances are turned o¢ before
the potential outage and ensure that no items are
left inside or on top of the unit.
Download the LiveSafe App
All residents are encouraged to download the
University’s LiveSafe app which will provide severe
weather notifications to their mobile device.
