Tornado drill to take place

With the recent deadly tornados in the Midwest, Creighton has planned a variety of mock emergency situations in an effort to prepare for potential disasters.

The university will hold a mock tornado drill in conjunction with Douglas County on Wednesday at 10:10 a.m.

A CUAlert will be issued and Douglas County sirens will sound across the city. Students, faculty and staff will be asked to take appropriate action, including going to the nearest shelter area. The university anticipates that the entire exercise will last about 10 minutes. The hospital, medical and dental clinics will not participate in the test as they already have their own emergency drills in place.

Creighton officials asks that no matter if you are in class or in your office, action should be taken. They advise you to know your shelter location and go there immediately. Creighton community members are also reminded to sign up for CUAlert at http://www2.creighton. edu/.cualert/.

Retraction:

In the Feb. 24 issue it was falsely reported that CSU was the only sponsor of the ThinkFast! trivia event. IRHG and CSU were in fact co-sponsors of the event. The error was rectified in the online article, but our apologies to IRHG.
