紧急警报

When an incident takes place on campus that may represent a continuing threat, OU Police will notify the campus community in a timely manner. Because no single system is capable of reaching everyone, 到处都是, 每一次, OU Police maintains several different ways to communicate a message in an emergency. Together these systems create the OU Alert Notification System. Methods of communication are chosen based on the individual situation or incident.

One or more of the following methods will be used to convey information during an emergency:

• 在 365英国上市官网 Police Department 主页
• 在 365英国上市官网 主页
• Posting to 365英国上市官网 social media (Facebook/Twitter)
• Text message alert to registered cell phone numbers
• 在 interior digital signs
• Broadcast e-mail to all student, faculty, and staff OU addresses
• Broadcast voic电子邮件 to all campus phones
• Notification of campus operator
• Loudspeaker systems in patrolling police cars
• Posting of flyers on doors throughout campus
• 口口相传
• Notification of media outlets including:
  • Wjbk-tv fox 2
  • WDIV-TV第四频道
  • WXYZ-TV第七频道
  • WJR am 760
  • WWJ am 950

Keep in mind that while crisis communications are sent as immediately as possible, 文本, 电子邮件, and voic电子邮件 broadcast delivery methods may be impeded by delayed delivery due to technological shortfalls. 因此, the best place to receive the most up-to-date information during or following a campus emergency is the OU Police 主页. Updates to the website become visible immediately.
