Emergency Communications

Â鶹Ïà¹Ø±¨µÀleadership is committed to informing the University in a timely manner during emergencies and other situations that have the potential to disrupt normal operations.

Employees and students should not rely on news media reports for information on schedules or campus closures, but should consult the official Â鶹Ïà¹Ø±¨µÀinformation sources listed below.

In the event of severe weather or other emergent situations affecting the University, and depending on the circumstances of the specific situation, information may be released through the following communications channels:

University Public Address System. In an emergency, outdoor speakers on the main campus may be activated and used to broadcast messages to the community.

Â鶹Ïà¹Ø±¨µÀMass Notification System. Â鶹Ïà¹Ø±¨µÀPolice and the Department of Safety and Environmental Compliance can distribute mass communications through phone call, email and text message. To ensure receipt of these messages, students and employees should be sure their contact information in the PAWS system is up to date. In addition, Â鶹Ïà¹Ø±¨µÀPolice can distribute information through the free LiveSafe app.

Â鶹Ïà¹Ø±¨µÀEmergency Hotline. Updates will be posted to the emergency hotline at (251) 460-6999.

Â鶹Ïà¹Ø±¨µÀEmail: Employees and students should check their email for updates from Â鶹Ïà¹Ø±¨µÀPolice and the Office of Marketing and Communications.

Â鶹Ïà¹Ø±¨µÀWebsite: Information about ongoing emergency and weather situations will be posted to the Â鶹Ïà¹Ø±¨µÀwebsite homepage, with updates on campus schedules and closures. If the Â鶹Ïà¹Ø±¨µÀAlert system is activated, a banner will be posted at the top of all website pages.
