BUC Alert
Immediate Response Information System
Campus Lockdown Procedures:
When a credible threat has been identified, the emergency alert system will be initiated and the campus will be placed on lockdown. When this occurs, the following steps will be taken:
a. All entrances and exits to the campus will be sealed off and no vehicle or pedestrian traffic will be permitted on or off campus for the duration of the lockdown.
b. Simultaneously with the emergency alert, Residence Life personnel will commence a door-to-door notification of every room in the residence halls that a campus emergency is in progress and that all persons should remain in their rooms until further advised.
c. University personnel will be dispatched to every building on campus that is open or occupied and notify the person in charge of that facility that the doors should be locked and no one should be permitted to enter or exit until the all-clear has been sounded.
d. Security personnel will advise any persons outside to immediately seek a safe place to stay for the duration of the crisis.
University personnel, the campus website, and the emergency alert system will be used to provide frequent notification to students, faculty, staff, and parents regarding the status of the emergency.
Once the senior official on scene has determined that the threat has been neutralized and the emergency is over, an emergency alert message will be sent to all registered users.
Another door-to-door notification will be accomplished to advise all residential students that the threat is over and they are free to move about at will. The occupants of all buildings previously secured will be advised to resume normal operations. All entrances and exits to the campus will be re-opened.
The University’s highest priority is the safety of our students, faculty and staff. Every effort is being made to continuously enhance our emergency procedures. Please contact Dr. Rick Brewer, Vice President for Student Affairs by telephone at 843-863-7503 or by email at rbrewer@csuniv.edu with questions or suggestions.
