University Emergencies
Shelter-in-Place Steps
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, university emergency status web page, to watch and/or listen for text and voice updates from campus and/or 911 authorities.
Evacuation Assembly Points
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.
