Parece ser que el pasado martes ha sido proclamado “Tornado Preparedness Day” por el gobernador de la Commonwealth de Virginia. Así que en la Universidad de Virginia se realizó un simulacro de tornado de 9:45 a 9:55:
TORNADO DRILL MARCH 18, 2008 Governor Tim Kaine has proclaimed Tuesday, March 18th to be Tornado Preparedness Day.
All state agencies throughout the Commonwealth have been encouraged to participate in the
Statewide Tornado Drill on that day beginning at 0945. The University of Virginia will participate in
Tornado Preparedness Day by exercising a brief (10 minute) drill.
There are two objectives for this drill: 1. Learn what to do if a tornado warning is issued
2. Test the UVaAlerts text message, email and LCD screen display systems;
instructions will be given to note the time and method of notification and complete a
VERY BRIEF survey after the drill.
Parece ser que el objetivo número 2 no se ha cumplido, ya que el sistema de alertas de la universidad falló estrepitosamente. Esperemos que se arregle a tiempo para cuando haya una verdadera emergencia…
