Emergency Notification

When an emergency notification is issued, it shall be titled "Emergency Notification" and sent by the University Police.

Emergency Notifications contain the following information:

  • A statement as to what the emergency or dangerous situation is, in specific terms (e.g., chemical spill, active shooter, building fire)
  • A statement providing direction as to what actions the receiver of the message should take to ensure their own safety
  • A statement as to where or when additional information may be obtained

University Police will provide updates to the emergency notification with pertinent new information or direction to persons for their safety. Updates will be provided in regular intervals until the emergency has been mitigated or no longer poses an imminent threat, e.g., fire is out, and the building has re-opened.
