Whomever said "If you don't like the weather in Kansas, just wait five minutes" was quite accurate! Sun, rain, ice, cold - as winter quickly approaches spring we must be prepared for any type of weather! That includes inclement weather. Just as you would look at the forecast to see if you need shorts or snow pants to prepare for the outdoors, you must also prepare yourself by knowing what to do when disaster does strike.

At KUMC we like everyone to be prepared! That's why we are having a campus-wide Tornado drill on March 5, 2013 at 1:30 pm! 

What does this drill mean for you? It means that you get to physically practice how you would react in a tornado event while at work or in class. For further information on your response in the event of a tornado at KUMC, click here. To be prepared at home, check out this page.
