SUBJECT: Boulder County Wildfire Not Endangering CU-Boulder Campus
The Boulder County wildfire is northwest of the city of Boulder and does not
represent a threat to the University of Colorado campus or the central City
of Boulder. Classes and all university activities will proceed along a
normal schedule on Tuesday.
CU students with respiratory illnesses (e.g., asthma, bronchitis, or
emphysema) should be aware of air quality alerts issued by Boulder County
Health by going to
http://www.bouldercounty.org/newsroom/templates/bocodefault.aspx?articleid=2292&zoneid=5
Those with severe respiratory distress should proceed
immediately to the closest emergency department; those with less distress
may come to the Wardenburg Health Center. Faculty and staff should consult
their own physicians.
A shelter has been set up in the Coors Events Center for individuals who
have been evacuated from the affected wildfire area. In addition, the campus
is lending support by providing space on South Campus for the staging of
firefighting equipment and vehicles.
