How the University Communicates
During an emergency, the University's goal is to communicate first with those most immediately impacted; people who need to evacuate or seek medical treatment, for example.
University Relations leads the communications response during and after emergencies, factually assessing each situation, developing the communications response, and assembling a crisis communications team. The goal is to provide accurate and timely information to minimize rumors and restore order and confidence.
During an emergency, the University community and general public may receive information through the Web, e-mail, telephone, and the media.
