Communication

Building Coordinators

Building coordinators are appointed to coordinate severe weather exercises and for any actual warnings which may be issued. Building coordinator duties are described below:

  • In advance of the exercise, consult with employees in the building and ascertain that all are aware of the pending exercise, the appropriate procedures, and the shelter locations indicated on the emergency procedures posted near the doorways of each room in each campus facility.
  • Also in advance of the exercise, identify an "assistant" building coordinator, acquaint them with the emergency procedures, and ask them to assist in this exercise and any future emergencies.
  • When warning sirens sound, make sure everyone on campus participates and follows the designated procedures. (The University has been repeatedly advised that the sirens are designed to be heard by persons who are outside.)
  • The University has been advised that the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) weather radios maintained by the building coordinators should activate along with the sirens.
  • As soon as the individual building coordinators determine that the exercise objectives have been met, direct everyone to return to their normal activities. In other words, each building coordinator will terminate the exercise within their respective buildings.
  • As soon as possible after the exercise, complete a report form, if requested, and forward it to the Director of Business and Support Service's attention.
