Emergency Communication
Emergency Communication Overview
The University relies on an array of communication tools to keep the campus community informed and relay safety instructions in the event of an emergency. University Police and Marketing and Communications are the only campus offices authorized to disseminate official information about campus emergencies to the campus community. The modes of communication are listed below. They vary with the nature and severity of the situation.
Accuracy and timing are critical to preserving the safety and security of campus and all who are on campus. Before discussing, sharing, or forwarding messages about emergency situations, please check official communication channels for accurate information.
Official information about the situation will be posted on the Current Situation page.
