tornado drillThe office of Emergency Management will be conducting a District Wide Tornado Drill on Tuesday October 28, 2014 for Hinds Community College. The purpose of this drill is to call attention to the secondary peak severe weather season that begins in the late fall. November historically has been a very active month for severe weather and tornadoes.

Faculty, staff and students are asked prior to the drill to go to the EagleOne site at http://eagleone.hindscc.edu to manage their accounts making sure that they will receive the alert message. You will be using your HindsNet credentials to login to your dashboard.

8 a.m., Day of the Drill, Tuesday, Oct 28:

  • Consider a tornado watch to be in effect
  • Announce watch to staff, students 

9:30 a.m., “DRILL… Tornado Warning for Hinds CC… DRILL!”

  • Messages sent via the EagleOne Alert network – e-mail, text, web, etc.
  • If you do not receive the alert, press on as if there still is a threat.

9:35 a.m., Move to Safety

  • Once the alert is received move to an area of safe refuge. Upon determination of immediate threat, give “take shelter” or “duck and cover” command. 

9:45 a.m., Termination of Drill

  • An “All Clear” message will be sent via EagleOne. Give instructions to return to normal activities – local campus personnel
