Once you identify the appropriate severe weather shelters, it
is very important to inform not only the building occupants of
the locations, but also your visitors.
The locations must be communicated visibly and clearly to
be effective.
Ways to advertise shelter locations:
• Discuss shelter locations and emergency procedures
in department meetings, newsletters or memos.
• Include shelter locations in notification plan.
• Include shelter locations on building emergency
maps.
• Post direction signs in hallways.
• Post severe weather shelter signs near the entrance
to the shelter areas.
Shelter locations are available on the EH&S website at
