CODE GRAY

It's no joke... Spring weather can be unpredictable. 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

• Turn off all lights

• Take flashlights

• Move all Library visitors away from windows and to the College basement or interior hallways

• DO NOT take the elevator

Refer to the Emergency Response Codes & Info at Front Desk, for information on how to react when any code is called. A copy of this resource is located at the front desk.
