Severe Weather

Tornado Watch
A tornado watch means conditions are favorable for a tornado to develop.
Steps to take:
  • Prepare your work area with equipment or emergency supplies that may be needed (e.g., flashlights, cell phone).
  • Monitor conditions (listen for overhead announcements, sirens, email alerts, etc)

Tornado Warning
A tornado warning means a tornado has been sighted, sirens are sounding, and the Weather Service is advising everyone to take cover.
Steps to take:

  • Move all persons to designated Tornado Shelter (Clark Center basement; Leinart Center PTA Lab and adjacent classroom).
  • Stay away from outside walls and windows.
  • Employees should attempt to notify others in surrounding offices as they proceed to the designated shelter.
  • Remain in designated areas until the "all clear" is given.
