Emergency Communications

Internal communications on campuses can be conducted in at least five ways: in-person, via the telephone intercom system, via walkie talkie, via urgent priority email, and via cell phone text messages, and one-way communications via the campus paging system. In the event that the telephone intercom and paging systems are not operational, alternative measures will be employed.

Communications between campuses and Central Administration and other parts of the “outside world” are conducted in four ways: in-person, via the regular telephone, via cell phone, and via email sent through T1 cable.

In the event that none of these electronic communication methods are operative, in-person communication will be attempted (e.g., with the fire department or police).
