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.

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
