During a campus emergency, Marketing & Communications is charged with directing all outgoing communications from the institution in coordination with RISD’s Emergency Operations Command Team (EOCT). The team will communicate timely and accurate information via posts on risd.edu/emergency. RISD!Alert text messages, emails and push notifications will direct people to risd.edu/emergency for the latest updates, as will the institution’s social media accounts.
Please see https://www.risd.edu/emergency-information for instructions on how to receive the information you need in the event of a campus emergency.
Cease all communications from your department, including via social media, and await instructions from Marketing & Communications. With input where possible from the staff members who represent each key audience, the team will assess which audiences need to be communicated with directly, what information each needs and which communications vehicles are most appropriate.
