SUBJECT: Precautions Following City of Boulder Wildfire Advisories
Earlier this afternoon, the city of Boulder issued a precautionary advisory
to citizens living west of Broadway and north of Spruce Street to prepare
for possible evacuation should high winds drive the fire toward the
northwest boundary of the city. CU officials are taking the situation
seriously and monitoring it closely with city and county officials. However,
the fire does not represent a threat to the campus and the campus is not in
the area covered by the city's advisory. Classes and campus events are not
canceled.
Off-campus students living in the areas identified by the city are urged to
pay attention to advisories concerning the changing conditions and possible
evacuations and to follow instructions from city and law enforcement
officials. If due to your personal circumstances you need to miss class or
other academic activities, keep your instructor informed. Please pass
information on to your family that the fire is not threatening the campus
and keep your family informed of your whereabouts and safety.
The university will update campus-specific information as needed on the
CU-Boulder home page at http://www.colorado.edu and the Emergency
Information Line at 303-492-4636. CU faculty, staff and students should also
monitor their campus e-mail and cell phones for possible emergency alerts,
texts and updates.
