Campus Security - Weather Related Information

Inclement Weather Information

Classes at outreach centers may be canceled independently of main campus, and vice versa. North Idaho College school closure information will be communicated via Cardinal Contact (voice/text/email notification system), www.nic.edu homepage, NIC Snow Closure Line at (800) 254-4526, Facebook, Twitter, and local media. Announcements will be made by approximately 6 a.m. Monday through Saturday for daytime classes and by approximately 2 p.m. Monday through Friday for classes that begin at 4 p.m. or later.

  • If you feel your hair stand on end (indicates that lightning is about to strike), squat low to the ground on the balls of your feet. Place your hands over your ears and your head between your knees. Minimize your contact to the ground. DO NOT lie flat on the ground.

 

Earthquakes
