HOW TO HANDLE A CODE GRAY

Besides flowers and sunshine, Spring weather can be scary.  If you are working an evening shift and the loudspeaker announces CODE GRAY, here are tips on what to do.

If a Tornado Watch is announced, conditions are right for a tornado to occur.  Do the following:

  • Monitor weather
  • Close windows, curtains, and blinds in occupied areas
  • Test flashlights (in top drawer -- above TV Remotes)
If a Tornado Warning is announced, conditions for a tornado have been sighted or indicated by weather radar.  Do the following:
  • Close all doors
  • DO NOT take the elevator
  • Take flashlights
  • Move all Library visitors away from windows and to the College basement or interior hallways
Please let me know if you have any questions regarding these instructions.  Also, refer to the Emergency Response Codes & Info at Front Desk.
