野花社区 Emergency Notification System 野花社区 Alert Us
野花社区 has an Emergency Notification System (ENS), called 野花社区 Alert Us which allows the University to contact the community in the event of an emergency by sending messages via:
-
Text message
-
Voice message (mobile or land-line)
-
E-mail
When an emergency occurs that requires the 野花社区 community's attention or action, 野花社区 Alert Us will be activated and you will be notified by the methods noted above using the personal information you have provided. 野花社区 Alert Us will cycle through each contact method three times or until you confirm receipt. Of course, if you have not provided contact information for text messaging, for example, 野花社区 Alert Us will not attempt to send you an text message. It is imperative that your contact information is accurate and up to date in order for you to receive emergency notifications.

University Closings
The president has designated a group of senior University staff members to be responsible for determining if classes will be cancelled, delayed or postponed or some services suspended due to various types of emergencies, including inclement weather and natural and man made disasters. A determination is made with the consideration for the safety and welfare of students, faculty and staff. Some University services and functions must remain in operation regardless of conditions, e.g. university housing, public safety, power plant operations, food services, etc.
Weather Related
When potentially dangerous conditions develop or are predicted (e.g., either two inches of snow, freezing rain, etc.) the University Weather Watch group will begin to monitor weather conditions. All members of the group are expected to monitor weather reports and to be ready to offer consultation advice to the group leader.
When inclement weather conditions occur at night the Shift Commander of the Public Safety Department will, in consultation with the Department of Facilities and Construction Management, begin to assess campus conditions. The Public Safety Department will also determine, if possible, the status of other educational institutions in Jersey City, as well as primary, secondary and tertiary road conditions.
The decision to cancel classes and/or to delay opening is based on a number of factors, including the time and nature of the storm, road conditions and conditions on campus. The decision and announcement will be made as early as practical.
