Welcome back to NOVA or, if this is your first semester here, welcome to NOVA!  The Office of Emergency Management wants you to be safe and prepared for any emergency that may happen while here on campus.  We encourage you to take a few extra minutes during your first days on campus to look around for the nearest exits to your classrooms in case of a fire or other emergency evacuation.  Also, look for the nearest Severe Weather Shelter location to your classroom in case there is a tornado or an especially severe storm.  These locations are marked by a green sign with a picture of a tornado.  Each classroom also has an Emergency Procedures poster.  This information describes what to do in just about any emergency situation you may encounter while on campus.
