Emergency Notifications and Timely Warning

Timely Warning

In the event that an on- or off-campus situation arises that is judged an ongoing or continuous threat by the Clemson University Chief of Police or designee, a campus-wide “Timely Warning” will be issued. The Timely Warning will include information the Chief of Police or designee determines is appropriate to promote safety. This may include but is not limited to information about the reported offense (time, location, description, etc.) and any available information about suspects. Timely Warnings will be disseminated as follows:

• The Office of Media Relations will be responsible for issuing the Timely Warning by email to students’ and employees’ campus email addresses
• Timely Warnings are posted on the CU Safety website at clemson.edu/cusafety
• Timely Warnings may be posted to other locations including both public and University media channels as deemed appropriate.

Anyone with information possibly warranting a Timely Warning should contact the Clemson University Police Department by calling 911 or 864-656-2222.

Emergency Response and Evacuation Procedures

In the event a significant emergency or dangerous situation involving an immediate threat to the health or safety of students or employees occurs on campus, the Clemson University Chief of Police or designee will activate some or all of the following notification systems immediately. The notifications will occur after consultation with any and all other appropriate campus officials, unless issuing a notification will, in the professional judgment of responsible authorities, compromise efforts to assist a victim or to contain, respond to or otherwise mitigate the emergency. Once a determination has been made to issue an emergency notification, the content of the notification and the appropriate segment or segments of the campus community who receive the notification will be determined. One or more of the following notification systems may be used:

• The campus exterior sirens with audio messages
• The CU Safe Alert system, which includes a brief message sent tostudents’ and employees’ email addresses, registered cellular text message recipients and/or the CU Safety website
• Follow-up information may be posted on the CU Safety website and in Timely Warnings or other Office of Media Relations email publications
• Other notifications determined appropriate given the circumstances and the segment of campus who needs to be notified.

Clemson University Chief of Police or designee in consultation with the Office of Media Relations will determine if emergency information needs to be disseminated to the larger community via local media outlets or otherwise.

• Students and employees can register for cellular text messages at clemson.edu/cusafety.
• Members of the community can access safety information at clemson.edu/cusafety.
• The campus emergency notification systems are tested on a quarterly basis and regularly scheduled drills, exercises including tabletop and appropriate follow-through activities, designed for assessment and evaluation of emergency plans and capabilities are conducted on an annual basis.

In making determinations about whether an emergency exists and/ or which emergency notifications are needed, the Clemson University Chief of Police or designee may consult with members of the Executive Oversight Committee, the Crisis Management Team, Office of Media Relations, Environmental Health and Safety, Campus Security Authorities, Public Safety Officials, Building Security Coordinators or any other individuals relevant to the situation.
