Timely Warning & Emergency Notifications

Timely Warnings and Emergency Notifications are Clery Act required notifications that go out to the entire College Community to alert of a potential or ongoing threat of a Clery Reportable Offense. 

Timely Warnings are reviewed on a case-by-case basis to determine if there is a continuing or ongoing threat. The primary method used to communicate with students, faculty and staff will be through email. 

Emergency Notifications - Upon confirming that there is an emergency or dangerous situation, Oakland Community College, will, without delay, and considering the safety of the community determine the content of the notification and initiate, unless issuing a notification will, in the professional judgment of responsible authorities, compromise efforts to assist a victim or to contain, respond to or otherwise mitigate the emergency. The methods of communication are created through the OCC Alert system and sent via email, phone and text. The College may post and provide updates during a critical incident on the College website.

Anyone with information warranting a timely warning should report the circumstances to the Public Safety Office at extension 5555 from any College phone, (248) 858-4911 from any other phone or 911 in an emergency.
