Severe weather can occur at any time during the year. Richland makes use of NOAA weather radios and National Weather Service Doppler radar to monitor storm threats. Most common threat to the campus will involve a tornado warning. Richland will make an immediate notification via the campus PA systems in the event a tornado threatens the campus. Standard weather response will be enacted as described on Emergency Procedures posted near doors in all rooms on campus. Remember to stay clear of glass windows and high ceilings like in Schrodt and Andreas Centers. An “all clear” message will be broadcast over the PA system once the immediate threat has passed. Individuals should not be allowed to leave the building during a tornado warning on campus. Elevators may be used in the event of a storm warning.
