Emergency Communications
Emergency Notification System
ºÚÁÏÃÅAlert and Advisory
At ºÚÁÏÃÅUniversity Chicago, we take the safety and well-being of our students, faculty, and staff very seriously. That is why we have an emergency communication system in place to help us quickly and effectively respond to crises on campus. ºÚÁÏÃÅAlert and ºÚÁÏÃÅAdvisory provide time-sensitive alerts to students, faculty, staff, and other personnel in the event of imminent threats or significant incidents that could potentially disrupt operations at any of Loyola's three Chicagoland campuses.
Types of Notifications
ºÚÁÏÃÅAlert
ºÚÁÏÃÅAlert
FOR IMMEDIATE AND IMMINENT THREATS, messages titled ºÚÁÏÃÅAlert are exclusively used for on-campus incidents that pose a significant threat to life or bodily harm and require immediate action, including weather emergencies, civil emergencies, active shooters, and health emergencies as ordered by public health authorities. ºÚÁÏÃÅAlert will be used to send messages in accordance with the emergency notification requirement of the Clery Act. Current faculty, staff, and students are enrolled in ºÚÁÏÃÅAlert by default based on the information the University has on file.
ºÚÁÏÃÅAdvisory
ºÚÁÏÃÅAdvisory
FOR SIGNIFICANT, DISRUPTIVE INCIDENTS that are non-life-threatening, messages titled ºÚÁÏÃÅAdvisory are used to keep you informed of important occurrences that may not require immediate action but still require your attention, including technology outages, utility failures, disruptions to campus operations, significant hazardous materials or chemical spills, and fires. Current faculty, staff, and students are enrolled in ºÚÁÏÃÅAdvisory by default based on the information the University has on file.
Crime Alerts
For serious and continuing threats, email messages titled Crime Alert will notify University community members at any time of day or night when there are critical incidents and threats to safety to know about such as robberies, sexual assaults, aggravated assaults, vehicle thefts or hate crimes.
