In
cases of campus-wide emergencies, such as tornadoes, hurricanes, hazardous
waste spills, or other widespread dangers, notification of all residence halls
may be necessary. The University has an emergency system in place to respond
to situations and provide communication to the community as well. It provides
a process by which staff members can be contacted and given important information
to disseminate to the residence hall community.
When the emergency response system is implemented, a staff member in each residence hall will receive information from a pre-determined source and then send the message on to the next pre-designated recipient. The system may be initiated by a department or staff member within the University community.
Means of communication include, but are not limited to, voicemail, email, personal contact, and loud speaker system. An important component is the Wake County Emergency Communicator system. It allows a mass call to be made to campus/local phones and a voicemail message left if there is no answer.
