SEVERE WEATHER ALERT

SEVERE WEATHER ALERT TEST

This is a test of UNO's all-campus alert system in preparation for severe winter weather over the next several months.

In the event of an actual severe weather incident you will receive an email with information about how campus operations will be impacted. An example of what that email may look like is included below.

Due to the de-densified nature of campus due to the COVID-19 pandemic, severe winter weather will not result in the cancelation of classes or suspension of campus operations. Instead, all campus operations, including classes, which are able to be moved to remote operations will be asked to do so.

During the move to remote operations previously designated personnel may still be asked to report to campus and certain on-campus events may continue as scheduled.

Out of an abundance of caution and with the safety of our campus community in mind, any decision to move campus to remote operations will be shared the prior day and will apply for the entirety of the day that is impacted. For extended periods of winter weather, an update about campus operations will be made on the same timeline for each proceeding day.

For additional information on how you may be impacted by these changes as a student, faculty member, or staff member, please review this recent news article.

In addition to email, information about campus operations will be distributed through UNO Alert texts; posts on UNO's Facebook and Twitter accounts; and an emergency banner on the UNO homepage.

If you are not signed up for UNO Alert, or want to update your information on where text alerts from UNO will go, please do so as soon as possible.

Those with questions about UNO Alert or other emergency response resources should reach out to Sgt. Dave Points at 402.554.3700 or dpoints@unomaha.edu.
