The Luther Seminary Safety Committee will be conducting a community-wide tornado drill on Wednesday, April 1, at 1:00 p.m. The goal of this drill is to ensure all students, faculty, and staff are familiar with our emergency procedures and shelter locations. Please take a moment to review the instructions below so you are prepared when the alert sounds.
How the drill works:
- The Alert. At 1 p.m., a notification will be sent via the Luther Text Alert System.
- Action. When you receive the alert, stop what you are doing and move immediately to your designated shelter area.
Where to go:
- If you are in Gullixson Hall or Bockman Hall, go to the tunnel connecting the two buildings.
- Olson Campus Center (OCC) – go to the lowest floor of the building.
- Other buildings/outdoors – go to the nearest basement or an interior room on the lowest floor, away from windows.
Important Safety Reminders:
- Avoid Windows. Stay away from glass doors, windows, and outside walls.
- Assist Others. Help guide guests or colleagues who may be unfamiliar with the building layout.
- Stay put. Remain in the shelter area until a “clear” notification is sent via the text alert system.
