Elsewhere on Campus
Individuals in service buildings or outdoor areas should seek shelter in the nearest brick building. If immediate shelter is not available, lie flat in a ditch or other low-lying area.
Whenever possible, avoid hallways that open to the outside. Interior spaces such as restrooms, offices, conference rooms, and closets without exterior windows or doors provide the safest shelter.
All individuals should remain in designated safe areas until Campus Police issues an official "All Clear."
