Emergency Notifications / UA Alert and Timely Warning Policy (Annual Security and Fire Safety Report)

Upon confirmation of a significant emergency or dangerous situation involving an immediate threat to the health or safety of some or all students or employees occurring on campus, UPD and/or IMT will immediately notify the campus communities or the appropriate segment of the communities.

• — Sets the activation threshold at an immediate threat to health or safety occurring on campus, with UPD and/or the Incident Management Team (IMT) as the notifying authorities. Standard Clery/HEOA language that recurred identically across multiple independent retrievals; the uaa.alaska.edu host returned HTTP 403 to direct fetching, so it was captured from the search index.

UPD and/or IMT will, without delay and taking into account the safety of the community, determine the content of the notification, and initiate the notification system, unless notification will, in the professional judgment of responsible authorities, compromise efforts to assist victims or to contain, respond to, or otherwise mitigate the emergency.

• — Names UPD and/or the IMT as the deciders, applies the Clery 'without delay' standard, and preserves the federal exception for cases where notification would compromise mitigation. Recurred identically across two independent retrievals.

The warning siren system, text messaging, e-mail messages and web page is tested at the beginning of each semester (spring, summer, and fall). These tests are advertised in advance, and messages will indicate that they are indeed a test.

• — Establishes a concrete, published test cadence of three advertised tests per year (spring, summer, fall) across siren, SMS, email, and web. The original subject-verb quirk 'system... is tested' is preserved verbatim. Same wording appeared across 2+ retrievals (UA Alert FAQs and the UA News Center emergency page).

The University Police Chief or designee reviews all reports to determine if there is a serious or continuing threat to the community and if the distribution of a timely warning notice is warranted.

• — Places the timely-warning decision with the University Police Chief or designee, distinct from the emergency-notification trigger held by UPD/IMT. The exact sentence form appeared cleanly only once; a second retrieval paraphrased it, so marked isVerbatimConfirmed:false out of caution.

This multi-modal system of notification includes: Personal Notification: Via e-mail, telephone, and text message blasts via the RAVE Mobile Safety system.

• — Identifies the underlying Rave Mobile Safety platform and the personal-notification channels (email, telephone, SMS). The broader channel set (siren, web, social media, Alertus beacons/desktop, digital signage) is consistent across retrievals, but exact sentence phrasing varied by page, so marked isVerbatimConfirmed:false.
