As such, members of the administrative team receive weather “SkyGuard” updates as they are broadcasted. Building and Divisional Directors (LS, MS, US Arts and Athletics) are responsible for monitoring their incoming messages in order to receive the alerts as broadcasted. Each Director will appoint two individuals, a primary and a secondary, as his/her contact designee (in the event that the Director is unavailable), to communicate with the office of the Associate Head for External Relations office once an alert has been received to obtain further instructions. The types of warnings include advisories and warnings for High Wind and Lightning. The advisories are for information only and typically require no action other than monitoring the updates in case conditions worsen.
