Communication plays a critical role before, during and after any emergency or disaster.  CU will immediately notify the campus community upon confirmation of a significant emergency or dangerous situation occurring on either campus that involves an immediate threat to the health or safety of students, faculty, staff, or visitors.  Such notification can be disseminated through a variety of communications methods as dictated by the incident.
