Boxer Alert Guidelines
Information for Students, Faculty and Staff:
Pacific University will use broadcast email and voice mail messaging along with the University web site to alert students, faculty, and staff about weather closings and delays or about emergencies on campus or in the nearby locality.
Major Storms and Power Outages: In the event of a major storm or prolonged power outage, students should prepare and respond in the following manner:
- Students should try to have flashlights and batteries ready as well as bottled water. Candles should not be used as a method of temporary light.
- Make sure your cell phone is charged so that you can receive text messages or email messages from the University providing you with instructions.
- If available, tune into the local radio and/or TV stations listed on this site for information about the storm or even.
- If a prolonged power outage occurs, students should remain in their residence halls until further guidance is received.
Imminent Threat Plan: If a person on campus is actively causing physical harm to people or there is an imminent threat of harm, the University recommends the following procedures:
- Lock yourself in your residence hall room, classroom, or office.
- Do not remain in open hallways or outdoor/indoor courtyards and plazas.
- Barricade your office, classroom, or residence hall room with furniture and other items to prevent the threat from entering the room.
- Lock the windows and close the blinds to your room.
- If possible, call 911 to report the incident and contact Pacific University’s Campus Public Safety Office at 503.352.2230.
- Do not sound the fire alarm since this would cause occupants to evacuate the building.
- Expect a text-message or email from the University providing you with information about the incident and instructions on what to do.
“Boxer Alerts is a practical way to protect our students on or off campus.”
