Emergency Communications

The Incident Management Team is responsible for providing timely updates and information related to an emergency via the Illinois State University homepage, email, and flagship social media. Illinois State's flagship social media accounts will share the latest information and direct users to the Illinois State homepage for details.  

Depending on the nature and scope of an emergency, the Crisis Communications team may request a pause on other communication to avoid confusion, including nonflagship social media posts. These requests will always be made on the social media managers Facebook group, the Campus Communicators Teams channel, and email. At minimum, to prevent outdated or inaccurate information from being shared, nonflagship Illinois State University social media accounts should only share/repost unaltered and timely posts from flagship accounts. If your unit has a cancellation, closure, or other urgent information to share specific to your unit, review your prescheduled content for appropriateness when an emergency situation develops, and consider rescheduling those posts for another day.
