Creighton University

Creighton University must be prepared for a variety of emergency situations and conducting periodic campus-wide drills is essential to effective crisis planning.  The University will hold a mock tornado drill in conjunction with Douglas County on Wednesday, March 27 at 10:10 a.m.

A CUAlert will be issued and Douglas County sirens will sound across the city. Students, faculty and staff will be asked to take appropriate action, including going to the nearest shelter area. We anticipate the entire exercise will last about 10 minutes. Take action even if you do not hear the siren. The dental clinic will not participate in the test as they already have their own emergency drills in place.

No matter if you are in class or in your office, action should be taken.  Know your shelter location and go there immediately.  Creighton community members are also reminded to sign up for CUAlert, our emergency notification system, at http://www2.creighton.edu/cualert 

The purpose of this website is to provide students, faculty and staff information and resources on the University's emergency preparedness activities.

As the days get colder, the all-University Crisis Committee wants to remind campus about communication procedures for inclement weather. The official means of notifying Creighton students, faculty and staff of a weather closing or delay are the weather hotline at 402.280.5800 and the CUAlert system. The weather hotline is updated by 5:30 a.m. on the business day in question. If the hotline is not updated with a message or you do not receive a CUAlert, the University is open. For closures or delays, these communication channels are augmented by a notice on the Creighton website and announcements in the media. Now is a good time to log into CUAlert and update your contact information to receive the earliest notifications possible.
