Homeland Security Level-Orange Precautions
While Buffalo State has not received or been alerted to any specific threats to campus, we want
to assure the campus community that we remain vigilant in maintaining the highest security
measures possible at this time of national alert. The college has a comprehensive Emergency
Response Plan, and in the near future, the plan will be added to the University Police Web Page
for all students, staff, and faculty to review and become familiar with. In support of our overall
campus emergency plan, Building Emergency Response Teams have been developed to assist
with building evacuations and other basic response procedures.
Further information about the elevated national threat condition designation is available
from the
Office of Homeland Security. Additional emergency information from Erie County
is available at www.erie.gov/index.aua.html.
In the event of an emergency, the college community will be notified through a variety of
mechanisms, including the Web, e-mail, telephone, and, in some instances, in person by
college staff members or University Police officers.
Heightened security is not intended to induce fear and panic. People should go about their
normal business while paying particular attention to their surroundings.
Be aware of and report to University Police (6333):
