o  Departments with valuable records, computers, or scientific instrumentation should secure such items by covering with plastic, moving them away from windows, or by other means.  Computers are best protected by unplugging, and covering them with a large plastic garbage bags. Computer files and disks should be backed-up and moved to a safe location before bagging.  The Emergency Operations Center may be activated.

o  Physical Plant should ensure that emergency generators are operational.

o  The Athletics Department should secure the waterfront.  All boats, equipment and any hazardous materials (gasoline), should be moved indoors inside the main athletic center building, or other appropriate location on higher ground.  A storm surge may flood the entire waterfront area.

o  Students will be instructed to remain inside their dormitories, or designated shelter areas. All non-essential personnel on campus shall be sent home.

o  Physical Plant personnel will supply tape and plastic to the occupants of buildings.  They shall assist in taping windows, glass, items of concern, and help in covering sensitive equipment and furniture.  The Storeroom should inventory necessary supplies and remain available for dispensing those items.

o  Dining Services will remain available to provide food service to non-evacuees and essential personnel, but precautions should be taken to avoid requiring students and employees have to go out into the storm to get to a dining facility.  If possible, Dining Services will prepare box meals to be distributed before the storm arrives.

o  If necessary, campus streets will be closed to vehicular traffic, except those used for campus vehicles.

o  The Student Health Center shall be prepared to assist individuals who are injured or ill.  If the storm occurs when the Student Health Center is closed, Campus Safety Officers shall be ready to provide immediate First Aid until the injured or ill can be evacuated to an appropriate health care facility.

Thunder/Lightening Storms
All members of the campus community are advised to monitor the weather daily during the summer thunderstorm season, and to plan their work around any threatening weather conditions.  Severe weather information can be obtained via local radio stations or the Internet.  Faculty, athletic coaches and supervisors should be aware of their responsibility to advise employees and students who might be vulnerable to thunderstorms.  Those persons should be warned to take cover when storms approach.
When thunderstorms threaten, seek shelter in a fully enclosed building or car. Avoid water, metal objects, and open spaces. Note that golf carts, trees, tents and boats are unsafe places!  
If caught outdoors away from enclosed shelter, avoid contact with other people, remove all metal objects from your person, and crouch down with feet together and hands on knees.
Avoid water, open windows and electrical appliances. This includes staying off the telephone!

Tornadoes
Connecticut is ranked 42 of all 50 states in frequency of tornados, so the likelihood of a tornado affecting Connecticut College is low. However, they have occurred in the past and have caused considerable damage.  In the event of a tornado, the chance of injury can be greatly reduced by following a few simple guidelines:
.  BE ALERT. One of the most important things you can do to prevent being injured in a tornado is to be alert to the onset of severe weather. Most deaths and injuries happen to people who are unaware and uninformed. 
.  If you don't regularly watch or listen to the weather report, but strange clouds start moving in and the weather begins to look stormy, turn to the local radio or television station to get the weather forecast.
.  Like hurricanes, there are two awareness levels for potential tornados:  “Watch” and “Warning.” If a tornado "watch" is issued for our area, it means that a tornado is "possible."  If a tornado "warning" is issued, it means that a tornado has actually been spotted, or is strongly indicated on radar, and it is time to go to a safe shelter immediately. The entire campus community will be alerted via “ConnectEd” when there is a TORNADO WARNING in effect. 
.  The basement level of all campus buildings is the designated tornado shelter.  If your building does not have a basement, go to small interior rooms at the lowest possible level, such as bathrooms, halls or closets on the first floor.  Avoid halls that open to the outside in any direction. Interior rooms and halls are the best locations in large buildings. Central stairwells are good, but elevators are not. If the building loses power, you may be trapped in the elevator.  
.  If time allows, evacuate auditoriums, gyms, and other large, open spaces, and quickly go to an appropriate shelter.
