As part of Severe Weather Week, the UNMC campus will participate in a tornado drill today between 10 and 11 a.m.
Those receiving the severe weather notification should communicate the information to others in their area.
Several methods will be used to communicate the severe weather information, including:
- NOAA weather alert radios;
- Audible devices on the fire alarm systems (some areas);
- e2 Emergency Notification System (to key dept phone numbers);
- e2 Text messages to cell phones for those who subscribed;
- Text pagers;
- House paging;
- PC crawler; and
- Broadcast media.
Departments may determine their level of participation, however, at the very minimum they should make sure notification is received and that staff knows what to do and where the safe area is.
Document participation
All areas that participate in the drill are asked to complete an online “Severe Weather Report.”
