The university is taking appropriate actions to ensure our campus is prepared to provide as safe and normal an environment as possible in these uncertain times. There are two web sites with valuable information - www.ready.gov and www.redcross.org - for doing just that.

• Update your local and emergency contact information on file with TCU. We will only be able to contact your spouse or other family member in an emergency if this information is current. Faculty and staff can download a PCF (personal change form) by clicking on ‘forms and publications’ on the human resources web site at www.hr.tcu.edu. If you need assistance with the PCF form, contact your supervisor.

• Call home to let your family know you are safe. We expect campus phone lines could be overrun with incoming calls once war is declared or if an emergency occurs in our area or on campus. You can help keep phone lines open and campus operating as normally as possible by calling home and telling your family you are safe.

• Communicate a designated meeting place to your family. If you choose to leave campus in an emergency, make sure your family knows where you will go if you are not heading home (a colleague’s home, for instance) … and how they can reach you there.
