Eugene Police Department is responding to a potential bomb threat at South Eugene High School. Expect police activity in the area. Spencer View residents should be aware, but no action is needed at this time.

May 9, 2023 – 9:00 am

There is no current emergency on the Eugene UO campus. Many display boards are showing a red screen with an Emergency Alert message. The emergency notification system was not activated to post that message. We are working to assess the technical issue and remove the message as quickly as possible.

An oil sheen has been observed on the Mill Race by the Millrace Drive on April 12, 2023. The source has been determined to be a spill at an off-campus fueling station East of campus. The City of Eugene has been notified and is currently working with the site to contain the spill and clean up the resultant contamination. Booms have been placed across the Mill Race upstream of campus to minimize the spread of contamination. A slight sheen or fuel odor may persist in the vicinity of the Mill Race on campus as this issue is addressed throughout the day. UO EHS is involved and is tracking this issue.

REMINDER:

Island Mode testing will take place next Wednesday 3/29/23, from 8:00 am to 1:00 pm.

CPFM Utilities and Energy is scheduling Island Mode testing for Wednesday, March 29^th between the hours of 8:00 am and 1:00 pm.  The date was moved to Wednesday, March 29^th following feedback from campus partners.

The Island Mode testing will follow-up on the December failure to determine the root cause of the problem. The island mode procedure will be attempted several times throughout the scheduled test period.  As a result, short duration power outages may occur at any time throughout the testing period.  Utilities and Energy will have engineers who designed the equipment and service technicians onsite to assist us in determining the cause of the failure.  The electrical distribution system redundancy and resiliencies depend upon the properly functioning power generation system and island mode capabilities.

The Utilities and Energy would like to thank the campus community with the timely feedback and being flexible for this critical testing.

Special Instructions:  Please shut down and unplug all multi-function copier devices as well as any printers during scheduled power outages. The software on these machines can be negatively affected due to the power surge when the power is turned back on.  A power surge can corrupt the clone files in the machines and change preconfigured settings.  For questions, please contact Kati Kronholm at 541-346-5370 or katik@uoregon.edu.

A note from Safety & Risk Services:

On Tuesday, March 28^th from approximately 8:30 am to 12:30 pm, the Eugene Springfield Fire Department will be conducting training in Prince Lucien Campbell Hall (PLC).

The training will involve completing a high speed walk through response to a reported fire on an upper level of the building. No alarms or water will be used, though they will lay out fire hose in the stairwells and they may bring in other equipment. This exercise may block one set of stairs at a time. They may test on multiple sets of stairs. Other stairwells and elevators will still be available.

While the doors to PLC are scheduled to be locked during spring break, they will be unlocked during this time.

If building fire alarms activate building occupants should assume a fire has been detected, evacuate the building, and not re-enter until advised to by emergency responders.

What is this notice? Campus Crime Alerts are released by the University of Oregon Police Department when certain crimes are reported on or near campus property, and in compliance with federal law. These timely warnings provide information about campus safety situations, and allow campus community members to take precautions for personal safety. This incident may have occurred outside the university’s Clery Act reportable area, but was a serious crime close to campus and is being shared with students and employees. All crimes should be reported as soon as possible to local law enforcement.

The Eugene and University of Oregon police departments responded to reports of an assault occurring on a Lane Transit District bus heading westbound on 11^th Avenue. After the driver stopped the bus at the EMX station at 11^thAvenue and Kincaid Street, the two assault suspects, a male and female, exited the bus and headed south. The male and female suspects were quickly located and taken into custody.

Police and medics responded to aid the male assault victim, who later died from his injuries at Riverbend Hospital. Neither the suspects nor victim have any known association with the university.

SAFETY TIPS FROM UOPD

No action or inaction by a crime survivor makes that person responsible for his or her victimization. Perpetrators are responsible for crimes and their effects. The following suggestions may help reduce the possibility of experiencing such a crime, or may improve opportunities to receive prompt assistance.

• Communities are safest when members look out for each other: report any suspicious activity or unauthorized strangers immediately.
• Report criminal activity (such as a break-in or intruder, robbery, or assault) immediately to 9-1-1, or for non-emergency situations on campus, to UOPD at 541-346-2919.
• Always be alert when traveling to and from campus.
• Download the UO Mobile App for easy access to safety resources, safe ride options, and maps.
• Duck Rides is the primary nighttime transportation services for students, staff and faculty at the UO. The service is free and peer-to-peer, with students driving students. It runs seven days a week, 6 p.m. to midnight. Call 541-346-7433 or email duckrides@uoregon.edu to make a reservation.
• UOPD is available to provide free on-campus escorts if you are unable to find another shuttle, ride, or taxi: 541-346-2919 and press 1.
• When walking at night, try to stay in well-lit areas. The UO provides an online map to help students navigate by the best-lit route around campus. The map also shows the approximately 60 emergency phones (e-phone or call boxes) that are located across campus.
• When possible, carry a well-charged cell phone with emergency numbers pre-programmed.
• In secured buildings (including laboratory and research spaces and residence halls), do not let in strangers, do not allow strangers to enter behind you as a courtesy, do not prop open doors, and do not lend out keys. Only open the front door of a secured building or residence to someone you know and trust.
• Immediately report any malfunctioning or broken doors or windows in UO buildings to CPFM Work Control (541-346-2319 – workcontrolcenter@uoregon.edu) or to maintenance in UO Housing (541-346-5263), and insist the problem be corrected as soon as possible.
• Student survivors of crime may find support and resource options at safe.uoregon.edu or call the 24-hour SAFE hotline at 541-346-SAFE (7233).
• University Counseling Services is open until 5:00 p.m. on weekdays and offers 24-hour crisis support via phone; 541-346-3227.
• Duck Nest in EMU provides a place for students to practice self-care and life-balance. It is staffed by Peer Wellness Advocates.
