Community Notifications

In an effort to provide timely notifications to the Knox College community regarding incidents which may pose some type of potential threat and/or negative impact on the Knox community, the Campus Safety Department may issue a Campus Alert notification to ensure that community members are aware of the potential threat. Such threats may involve any incident of concern to the campus from weather to ongoing criminal activity in and/or around the campus.

The notifications may involve any one or a combination of notification capabilities available to the Department of Campus Safety including but not limited to:

• personal contact
• Public Address (PA) announcements
• warning siren activations
• weather warning calls
• weather radio alerts
• electronic and paper postings
• cellular telephone calls
• text messaging
• e-mails
• local and campus based radio and television notifications

Generally the notifications are referenced with the terms Timely Warnings and/or Campus Alert notifications.
