Tornadoes? NLC has a plan in place

On Tuesday, April 24, students and faculty experienced more than just a drill. It was the real thing.

North Texas was hit by a barrage of inclement weather, including tornadoes and floods. Luckily, our school has got a plan in place.

If you are in the building and an interior evacuation is signaled by sirens over the college's P.A., the following areas have been designated as safe spots: P-207, P-213, P-219, P-235, P-239 (arena theatre), P-249 (choir room), P-250 (television studio), T-114, T-123, T- 148, F-102 (girls' locker room), or F-106 (weight room). The campus police will announce an "all clear" when it is safe to return to classes.

In the case of inclement weather, students will be notified by listening to television and radio stations, calling one of the main numbers for NLC or logging onto the NLC Web site at northlakecollege. edu.

If you have any questions regarding emergency evacuations and school closure procedure, visit the college Police Department at C-204 or call 972-273- 3302.
