Elevator – Lidstrom Hall

• Gate City Bank Hall: Residents on upper level floors should move to the basement or ground level. If possible, 2nd floor residents should move to common space or join lower level residents in bathrooms or common living space within their apartments until a storm has passed. • Outside: Should a tornado threaten while you are outside, try to find shelter immediately in the nearest substantial building. If no buildings are close, take cover by lying flat in a ditch or depression. Protect your head with your hands and arms.

Never try to drive away from the storm. If you are in your car and cannot find shelter in a building, leave the car and lie flat in a ditch or depression with your head covered. Do not take shelter under your car.
