DUSON Emergency Awareness: Extended Power Outage

DUSON is committed to the safety of its faculty, staff and students. This month’s awareness focuses on what would happen if there was an extended power outage.

In the case of an extended power outage, DUSON has a generator system to provide very limited power for the Pearson building in the event of electrical failure. The Clipp and Rutherford buildings are not connected to generator power. If classes need to be relocated or canceled, or if the outage will be extensive, the Director of Facility Operations and Associate Dean for Finance and Administration will work with those faculty whose classes will be impacted, the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs, and the Academic Program Directors to relocate classes and notify the School of such plans.
