Activation Levels

Level three activation increases monitoring to an enhanced level for actual or potential situations that exist, may develop, or are currently developing but have not yet required action. In some cases, enhanced monitoring simply includes increasing surveillance of a particular group, event, or situation to ensure the safety and well-being of that group or others in the area

Partial activation includes incidents that significantly impact one or more campus units, are complex, or require interaction with outside response organizations, and/or require a longer or more intense response than the affected units can effectively manage.

Full activation occurs when a situation threatens life, health, or property at the university on a large scale and control of the incident will require multiple agencies and multiple university departments working together. Activation to this level would include any event or incident that has the potential to, or does, seriously impair or halt normal university operations.
