UWM to conduct tornado drill

Note: This drill has been postponed until Friday because of the possibility of severe weather.

As we rapidly approach spring it is that time of year to conduct the annual tornado drill.

The week of April 8-12 is Tornado & Severe Weather Awareness Week in Wisconsin. UWM will be conducting the campus-wide tornado drill on Thursday, April 11. On that day, the tornado drill in Northwest Quad will be conducted at 9:30 a.m., while the rest of campus and buildings near campus such as USRB, Hefter Center, Alumni House, Zelazo Center, Great Lakes Research Facility and Global Water will conduct their drills at 1 p.m.

The campus drill (1 p.m.) will be initiated with a S.A.F.E. Alert message (email and/or text) and an “all clear” announcement made this way as well. The tornado drill at Northwest Quad at 9:30 a.m. will be initiated with an announcement over the fire panel PA system. The “all clear” signal will be announced this way as well.
