Douglas County will sound civil defense warning sirens for the daytime drill. Nebraska Medicine-Nebraska Medical Center also will conduct an additional test tornado watch\/warning drill on the evening\/night shift around 8 p.m. <\/p>\n<p>With the arrival of tornado season, everyone should review the <a href=\"https:\/\/info.unmc.edu\/safety\/Severe_Weather_Plan.pdf\">severe weather plan<\/a> in the <a href=\"https:\/\/info.unmc.edu\/safety\/safety-office\/policies-resources\/emergprepguide.pdf\">emergency preparedness guide<\/a> and your department&#8217;s plan. Make sure you know what to do and where to go in the event of a tornado warning. Take the stairs, not the elevator.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Tornadoes are a high priority threat for our organization,&#8221; said John Hauser, safety manager for UNMC. &#8220;A review of the tornadoes that hit Joplin and Oklahoma City showed that preparation is important.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<p>The weather service has a <a href=\"https:\/\/info.unmc.edu\/safety\/Tornado_Safety.pdf\">&#8220;Tornado Safety: What You Can Do!&#8221;<\/a> flyer that you can share with your family. For smartphone users, the American Red Cross has a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.redcross.org\/mobile-apps\/tornado-app\">tornado app<\/a> for smartphones that can send real time tornado alerts for your area.  It has useful information to help you plan and prepare.     <\/p>\n<p>Employees, faculty or students who experience problems or wish to make suggestions can contact Hauser or complete an online <a href=\"http:\/\/www.surveymonkey.com\/s\/WEATHER_REPORTS\">survey<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The beginning of tornado season also is a good time to review your family emergency plans regarding severe weather.
