D. Tornado Tornado Safety Precautions The most active months for tornadoes are June through August. Should a Tornado Warning be issued for your campus, the University will issue emergency text messages and emails (FAU Alert) alerting the University community to the conditions and providing additional information. Tornadoes are unpredictable and can last from a few seconds to more than an hour. The path can be from a few dozen yards to a few hundred yards. The National Weather Service (NWS) issues two types of tornado alerts, they are: Tornado – conditions are favorable for the development of tornados Tornado Warning – a tornado has been sighted or indicated on in your area However, because there is typically very little time between the issuance of a Tornado Warning and the threat itself, all members of the FAU community are urged to continue to monitor all emergency alert channels at their disposal and to familiarize themselves with the safety precautions to take in the event of a Tornado Warning is issued. If you are inside: If you are in a vehicle or modular facility/location: If you are outside: Remain inside and head to an interior room in the basement or lowest available of the facility/location. Get out immediately and go to the lowest floor of a sturdy, nearby facility/location. Lie flat in a nearby ditch or depression and cover your head with your arms. Be aware of the potential for flooding. Put as many walls as possible between you and the outside. Modular facility/locations, even if tied down, offer little protection from tornadoes. If you cannot get out or no other facility/location is nearby, lie flat and cover your head to protect yourself from flying debris. Avoid places with wide-span roofs such as auditoriums, cafeterias, and large hallways. You are safer in a low, flat location. Get a sturdy table and use your arms to protect your head and neck. Never try to outrun a tornado in your vehicle. Instead, leave the vehicle for safer shelter. Watch out for flying debris. Flying debris from tornadoes causes most fatalities and injuries during a tornado. Do NOT open windows. Do not get under an overpass or bridge. Lightning strikes are highly likely during tornados. Never exit a facility/location during extreme weather conditions. See Section 6.P - Individuals with a Disability During an Emergency See Section 6.A - Evacuation See Section 6.B - Shelter-In-Place Remain in place till you receive an “All Clear” alert

K. Active Shooter/Hostile Intruder Active Shooter/Hostile Intruder Safety Precaution Suggestions Violent incidents, including but not limited to: acts of terrorism, an active shooter, assaults, or incidents of workplace violence, can occur on the University grounds or in close proximity with little or no warning. An active shooter is considered to be a suspect or assailant whose activity is immediately causing serious injury or death and has not been contained. The FAU Police Department has adopted nationally accredited law enforcement response procedures to contain and terminate such threats as quickly as possible. The first officers to arrive on scene will not stop to help injured persons. Expect rescue teams comprised of additional law enforcement and emergency medical personnel to follow the initial officers. These rescue teams will treat and remove the wounded. Try to remain calm as your actions will influence others. Quickly determine the most reasonable way to protect your own life. Leave your belongings behind. Prevent individuals from entering an area where the shooter may be. Keep your visible for law enforcement. Follow the instructions of law enforcement. Do not attempt to move wounded people. Call 911 when you are safe. Evacuate If there is an accessible escape path, attempt to evacuate the premises. Be sure to: Yes No Notes Have all Unit evacuation/exit routes been identified? Have all evacuation route/exits been communicated with Unit personnel? Have all Unit locations been identified? Have all Unit shelter-in-place locations been identified? Shelter in Place/Secure in Place If evacuation is not possible, find a place to hide where the shooter is less likely to find you. Stay out of the shooters view by hiding behind objects Large items will provide protection if shots are fired in your direction Do not trap yourself or restrict your options for movement Lock or blockade the entrance Silence your cellphone and any other sources of noise Remain calm Once you’ve reached a safe location or an assembly you will be held in that area by law enforcement until the situation is under control, and all witnesses have been identified and questioned. Do not leave until authorities have instructed you to do so. Fight/Defend As a last resort, and only if your life is in imminent danger, attempt to disrupt and/or incapacitate the shooter. Act as aggressively as possible against them
