Some buildings have space that meets all or most of the requirements for tornado shelters.
Other buildings have space that is marginally acceptable as a shelter area and should be used only if time does not permit movement to a designated tornado shelter. Additionally, there are buildings that should be totally evacuated because there is no acceptable shelter area and occupancy during the tornado would be hazardous. If departmental personnel occupy buildings in which there the space is appropriate for a tornado shelter, the departmental plan should specify movement to that shelter. This is particularly important for personnel who occupy buildings in which there is no designated tornado shelter. Identification of the designated shelter area.
