Who approves the activation of the Severe Weather and Emergency Conditions policy?
The Duke Chief of Police is responsible for the early gathering of information on the criteria to be used by those responsible for declaring severe weather/emergency conditions. The Chief will advise the University Executive Vice President and the Health System Executive Vice President of the present or worsening conditions, for each shift. The Executive Vice Presidents will confer and the University Executive Vice President will make the decision on activating and/or terminating the severe weather/emergency conditions policy for each shift.
