During an emergency situation, Public Safety Emergency Alert is the quickest way for you to find out information and to take action.
Certain types of emergencies (an armed intruder, chemical, biological threat, or radiological incident) may warrant campus and 911 authorities to issue shelter-in-place alerts. In these instances, seek shelter inside an interior room (bathroom, internal office, classroom, etc.). Close all doors and windows and cover all ventilation vents with damp clothing, towels, or papers. Stay in place and turn on a radio, cell phones, e-mail computers, and/or university emergency status web page, to watch and/or listen for text and voice updates from campus and/or 911 authorities.
Emergency circumstances may require all persons to leave initial evacuation assemble areas and move to the University Evacuation camp, which is located at Championship field. Public safety staff will advise when further evacuation is necessary.
