Tornado Drill Scheduled Feb. 21, 2021
Tennessee Tech University will conduct a tornado drill Monday February 21, 2022 at 3 p.m. barring inclement weather. The drill is an important exercise that allows the TN Tech community to test its readiness in the case of emergency conditions.
Once the tornado “warning” message is received, ALL members of the campus community should quickly and safely evacuate to the designated areas within each respective building and wait for the “All Clear” to be issued. Once the all clear has been declared you may resume normal operations.
Although this is a drill, participation is a must! Building Coordinators will be evaluating and reporting student, faculty and staff response.
To register for the university’s emergency alerts, visit Environmental Health & Safety – Mobile Phone Text Messaging System.
If you have any questions or concerns please contact your building coordinator, Environmental Health and Safety at (931) 372-3587 or University Police at (931) 372-3234.
