Emergency Preparedness Procedures & Tornado Shelter Areas
(last revised Jan 2014)
EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS FOR STUDENTS: Please read and become familiar with the
following information. It may enhance your safety in the case of an emergency.
1. ASU-Beebe has an Emergency Alert System that is designed to send voice, text, and
e-mail messages that notify users of the following emergency situations:
a) Tornado Warnings
b) Building Evacuation
c) Campus Evacuation
d) Lockdown (Lockdown covers the type of situation where there is a threat of
violence, such as an active shooter).
2. You are automatically enrolled in the Emergency Alert database upon enrollment. ASUBeebe strongly recommends your participation in order to increase your personal safety.
3. If you wish to opt out of the program, you may do so by accessing your demographic data
in Campus Connect and removing your phone number from the database. Please be
advised that you will still receive official messages via e-mail. Further, removal of your
contact information may hamper your receipt of important messages in a timely manner.

a) Calmly go to the nearest tornado shelter area.
b) You will be notified by Alert Xpress or Campus Police when an “all clear” has
been declared.
