Severe Weather Alert

In the event that a severe weather warning indicates an immediate threat to individuals at a WCC facility, the campus will be alerted by way of the public address system, Campus Police, and/or WCC Alert message, and the plan below will be activated. Please close all windows and doors before you leave your area. If time permits, disconnect all electrical and computer equipment before you leave your area. Everyone is to remain in the designated safe area(s) until notified by Campus Police that all is clear.

  1. Azalea, Dogwood, and Wayne Learning Center Buildings: Everyone should immediately proceed to the first and second floors of their respective buildings and assemble in the safe shelter areas away from outside doors and windows (interior rooms such as classrooms, closets, rest rooms, break rooms, kitchenettes, hallways, or stairwells).

    In the WLC building, people in the dining hall, atrium, student lounge and other open areas should proceed to Moffatt Auditorium if safe to do so, move to the front row and fill in from the middle of the center section out to the aisles and from the walls back to the aisles on the right and left wing seating areas. This will facilitate getting everyone to safety as quickly as possible.

  2. Aviation and Hangar Buildings: All individuals should immediately proceed quickly to the Aviation classroom building away from outside doors and windows for safe shelter if time permits.
  3. Hocutt Building: Everyone on the first floor should assemble in the automotive area away from doors and windows. Individuals on the second floor should proceed to the interior hallway or other interior rooms with no outside doors or windows.
  4. Maple Building: All individuals should immediately proceed to the Prep Booth, Room 102, or to the Storage Room 101 and stay away from outside doors and windows.
  5. Cedar, Holly, Oak, Pine, Spruce, and Walnut Buildings: All individuals should remain on the floor they are on and seek safe shelter away from outside doors and windows.
  6. Wayne Works: Assemble in the designated severe weather shelter areas away from outside doors and windows (rest rooms, interior offices, classrooms, labs, and meeting rooms).
  7. Individuals in service buildings or elsewhere on the grounds should seek immediate shelter in the nearest brick building or lay flat in a ditch or low-lying area if time does not permit getting inside a building.
