A Tornado Warning means that a tornado has formed and been sighted. A Tornado Warning issued by the National Weather Service will be communicated to students and faculty immediately upon notification of the situation. Students must proceed to designated hallway areas. Designated areas will be explained in student orientation. Students on clinical assignment should follow severe weather procedures for their assigned office or hospital. When the Tornado Warning has been canceled, students will be signaled to return to class.
