SNOW POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR
CAMPUS PARKING LOTS
Snow-removal procedures are established to provide all areas of
the Main Street Campus and the Priscilla Payne Hurd Campus with accessible
walkways, roads, and lots within a reasonable time after winter weather
conditions subside.
When there is a declared snow emergency, lots will be cleared
during non-class hours if possible.
All notifications to move cars from lots will come from Campus
Safety, using e-mail, announcements in the HUB, and the RA/RD system. Once
the notice goes out, owners must move their cars within a specified period of
time. When possible, a 24-hour notification will be given. Vehicles left in the lot after the designated
time will be towed.
Students who bring vehicles to
campus, whether they park in College lots or on city streets, are expected to
equip them with proper tools such as snow or all-weather tires, shovels,
traction material, and other necessities for winter driving.
EMERGENCY NOTIFICATIO SYSTEM
Dear
Members of the Moravian
College and Moravian
Theological Seminary Community:
Moravian
has a long history of continuous improvement with regard to institutional
safety and emergency preparedness. In recent years, we have enhanced
our facilities by adding sprinklers and card access to most of our residence
hall facilities, with work in remaining traditional halls scheduled to be
completed next summer. We have strengthened our programs by developing
more than 30 emergency response protocols addressing a wide range of
situations and by partnering with the City of Bethlehem
in a federally-funded critical incident protocol program facilitated by
representatives from Michigan
State University.
Additionally, we have bolstered our 24/7 Campus Safety Office operation by
relocating it to more suitable facilities; by providing increased training
for staff, including participation in regular tabletop exercises; and by
arranging for a formal outside review of our Campus Safety program, which was
completed in February 2007.
This
summer, we have focused on improving our notification and communication
systems. It is important to have a mechanism to alert members of our
college community in the event of an emergency and, subsequently, to provide
information and instructions through various mediums: siren/public
address speaker, cell phones, e-mails, and the College website. While
there can never be a guarantee of safety, we believe that moving in this
direction places the College in a better position from which to deal with the
unexpected threats of today’s world.
Two
sirens, one situated on the Main Street Campus and one on the Hurd Campus will initiate the notification system.
Our plan calls for the notification sirens to be activated by Campus Safety
in the event of an emergency to alert people to check their cell
phones. The communication system, contracted through a company
called OMNILERT, LLC using their product called e2Campus. You can
find out more information about e2Campus by visiting their website at http://www.e2campus.com/.
In the
event of an emergency, this new system will enable us to send text messages
to the cell phones of registered members of the campus community with
information about what is happening and/or what precautions should be
taken. Students and employees may register two cell phone numbers and
two e-mail addresses.
In order
to take full advantage of these enhancements to our campus preparedness, we
request that every student, faculty member, administrator, and staff member
who has a cell phone register that cell phone number in accordance with
instructions posted on Moravian’s intranet at http://intranet.moravian.edu/e2campus/index.asp.
In order
to register, you must be on the College's network so that you can access the
College's Intranet website and the e2Campus registration link. We
ask that you register your phone as soon as possible, preferably by August
24, 2007.
In the
coming weeks, you will be provided with more information in regard to
e2campus to include the system testing schedule. We anticipate that
testing will occur twice annually: once in September and once in
January. Questions about the contents of this letter are best directed
to Sean Tallarico, Director of Campus Safety, at 610-861-1421 or mesmt01@moravian.edu.
Thank
you in advance for doing your part toward increased preparedness by
registering your cell phone number.
Sincerely,
Christopher
M. Thomforde
President
