20 TAMIU/RELLIS may not be able to maintain confidentiality. TIMELY WARNING Timely Warning Notices will be distributed as soon as pertinent information is available, in a manner that withholds the names of victims as confidential, and with the goal of aiding in the prevention of similar occurrences. Timely warnings include information to help the community make informed safety decisions, to prevent future crimes of a similar nature, to provide suspect descriptions (when appropriate) and victim characteristics (when appropriate), and to provide contact information for PD. A report that is filed more than five days after the date of the alleged incident may negate the need for the PD to post a ?timely?warning to the community. While this standard generally holds true, it is important to note that all cases are reviewed individually, and determinations for all aspects of the case are made on its own merits. If, after reviewing a case, it is determined that there is a serious or continuing threat to students and employees, then a timely warning is issued. EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION Upon confirmation that a significant emergency exists, it is the policy of TAMIU and TAMUS-RELLIS to respond to all threats seriously and implement our Emergency Notification and Management Plan accordingly. Notification will be made without delay and will take into account the safety of the associated campus. PD determines if a significant emergency exists by many methods including but not limited to: location visual confirmation, monitoring life safey systems, monitoring media outlets, communication, and coordination with other law enforcement agencies METHODS OF DISTRIBUTION Should a notification be the course of action to be taken, all members of the campus community need to listen to and follow the instructions of emergency personnel. The campus community will be notified by our available communication methods (e.g., DustyALRT/RELLIS Alert which may include sending messages via email, text messages, social media, TAMIU/TAMUS-RELLIS website, etc.). Authorized PD personnel or other authorized employee will issue notification to the campus community and issue another notification when the emergency or threat has passed, if deemed appropriate.
