As conditions deteriorate, additional stress is placed on available resources. To maintain access for police, fire and emergency medical vehicles, high priority areas will be served first. The University of Northern Colorado's severe weather policy is driven by the needs of the entire campus community rather than the particular needs of each individual. The University's response to a given storm will take into consideration the conditions on campus, in the City of Greeley and the immediate region. Snow Emergency - This classification is used when the situation requires no resources beyond those normally scheduled.
Travel is possible but difficult in some areas.
The safety of people on campus is minimally threatened by the conditions. This classification is used when the situation requires more resources than can be applied. Icy conditions, where traction and vehicle stability are seriously impaired, may qualify for this level of alert. Walking and bicycling may be impaired and unsafe for certain members of the community. Conditions such as black ice, high winds, poor visibility and extremely low chill factors may be present.
