UNC has issued an emergency notification, including sirens that an ‘armed and dangerous’ person is on or near campus.
The university is advising students and staff to stay inside, close windows and doors immediately until further notice.
The University advises the campus community to go to alertcarolina.unc.edu, for updates.
People can let their families know they are okay in the event of an emergency affecting the Carolina campus while keeping cell phone lines open for emergency calls by using the American Red Cross Safe and Well list. The Safe and Well list is especially helpful in communicating with family members who are outside the emergency area. Go to www.redcross.org/safeandwell and follow the registration instructions.
Campus police ask anyone seeing suspicious activity to call 911. Do not call 911 or campus police just to ask for information about the current situation.
When the threat is over, school officials said sirens will sound again with a different tone to announce along with the voice message: “All clear. Resume normal activities.”
