University to participate in statewide tornado drill
The University of Kansas will participate in the statewide tornado drill that will be conducted by the National Weather Service today.
Douglas County will activate its warning sirens in both the early afternoon and early evening. The University will participate in the afternoon by testing its severe weather warning and "all clear" announcement systems in buildings that are equipped.
The buildings that will be affected are Margaret Amini Scholarship Hall, Hilltop Child Development Center, the Stewart Wing of Haworth Hall, JRP Hall, Lewis Hall, Mrs. E's, Lied Center, the Networking and Telecommunications Services section of McCollum Hall, Murphy Hall, Strong Hall, Twente Hall and Watkins Memorial Health Center.
The Public Safety Office will post notices on the doors of buildings that will be affected by the test.
No action will have to be taken by students and faculty in the buildings at the time because it is just to test the system, said John Mullens, assistant director of security and emergency planning for the Public Safety Office.
"We would ask that they consider what they would have done if they found themselves in this situation," he said.
Students who have questions about the what to do during severe weather can consult the University's Severe Weather Policy or call the Public Safety Office at 864-5900.
