Weather-Related Emergencies
Blizzard
If you are not on campus and would be traveling to reach campus, weather-related updates, including any announcements about canceled classes or closing the campus will be posted on our emergency site www.ConcordiaEmergency.com
Flooding
In the case of river flooding the college typically will have a few days notice of the potential problem. Directions will be given at that time by residence hall staff or department heads to all students and employees whose dormitory rooms or offices are located on the lower levels.
In the event of flooding from abundant rainfall, do the following:
- Remove belongings from the floor if possible.
- While keeping valuables on campus is not advised, small items of value can be taken with you if water is encroaching on your area.
- Move to a higher floor.
- If sidewalks and streets are overcome with water, do not evacuate the building. Just move to a higher floor.
Tornado
If the National Weather Service issues a tornado warning for the Fargo-Moorhead area, the citywide Civil Defense Sirens will sound (These sirens are tested the first Wednesday of the month at 1 p.m.). If the sirens sound during the non-testing time:
- Go to the lowest level of the building you are in and stay away from windows and any exterior doors.
- Monitor emergency weather statements and developments on a battery-operated radio since violent storms can often lead to power outages.
- If power remains available, monitor weather radar from computers by going to any gateway off the college’s homepage and clicking on the weather bug.
