MSUM outdoor warning siren to sound April 22

MSUM will participate in a statewide tornado drill at 1:45 p.m. on Thursday, April 22, 2010 as part of Severe Weather Awareness Week. The National Weather Service will issue a simulated tornado warning and outdoor warning sirens will be activated in Clay County and Moorhead, including the siren located on the Livingston Lord Library’s roof. During this drill DO NOT take shelter. Instead we ask that everyone review their building’s posted emergency plans for their Severe Weather Safe Area. Click headline for more information.

MSUM security director Michael Parks was named Safety Director of the Year at a ceremony Tuesday evening in Long Beach, Calif. The top educational campus award is presented annually at the Campus Safety Conference for public safety and security administrators in hospitals, K-12 schools and universities. Parks was nominated for his leadership during the Flood of 2009. He served as the incident commander for the campus and he played a key role in the flood fight in the community. Under Parks’ leadership, MSUM was mobilized as a volunteer center and provided emergency call center facilities and staffing during the historic flood.
