In conjunction with the National Weather Service, the State of Kansas will participate in the Severe Weather Preparedness Week from March 3 to 7. At 10 a.m. Wednesday, March 5, Sedgwick County Emergency Management Services will sound the severe weather sirens throughout the county.
All personnel — faculty, staff, students and guests — are expected to go to a designated shelter until the all clear is given. This drill will be educational for all involved and provide those overseeing campus safety a way of evaluating the effectiveness of WSU’s emergency preparedness during a tornado. Go to the Wichita State tornado shelters webpage to learn more about what to do during a tornado warning and to locate your designated shelter.
