Inclement Weather impacting the San Antonio Campus
The university is monitoring the weather situation in the San Antonio area and will
send out communication if there is a need to alter any work schedules. Our top priority
is the safety of our faculty, staff and students. Employees should communicate with
their supervisors if there are any safety concerns with their travels to campus on
Tuesday due to weather-related issues. In case you are not able to come to campus,
if appropriate, take your laptop home so you are still able to accomplish tasks.
We will send out a notification by 6 a.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 31, if there are any alterations to the work and class schedule.
This is the information page for the OLLU Emergency Alert System (OLLU Alert). In the event of a campus weather or public safety emergency, the OLLU Emergency Alert System will be activated.
The OLLU Alert System uses voice, text and/or email messages to alert the OLLU community in the event of an emergency. Messages are sent to cell phones, home phones, university phones/speakers and/or email addresses.
Communication
In extremely time-sensitive emergencies, prerecorded messages will be sent out to alert the community that an emergency situation is taking place. The prerecorded messages allow for the fastest activation of the OLLU Alert System. A prerecorded message will be followed by additional messaging when information is available.
Prerecorded messages fall into three categories:
Public Safety Emergency
This prerecorded message could be activated for a variety of emergencies including threats from individuals or other situations that might endanger the community.
Weather Emergency
This prerecorded message would be activated in the event of a rapidly approaching weather-related threat.
Active Shooter
This prerecorded message would be activated if shots were fired on campus.
Follow-up messages
- OLLU social media
- OLLU email system
- OLLU campus phones and speakers
- Updates to this web page
- Additional messages through the OLLU Emergency Alert System -- voice, text and email
