The Office of Emergency Management conducted the Spring semester test of the WSU Alert System Tuesday, February 23. The test reached 23,067 students, faculty, staff and parents within five minutes via text, phone and email. In yesterday’s test, all notification mechanisms were activated, therefore recipients may have received multiple alerts. WSU encourages students, faculty and staff to be personally aware of developing incidents, assessing each emergency individually, and taking actions to ensure the safety of all.
If you feel as though you should have received an emergency notification, please check to make sure your contact information is correct in MyWSU. If you would like to receive emergency notifications, please visit MyWSU to complete your registration. To view current alerts, please visit https://alert.wsu.edu and see oem.wsu.edu for emergency preparedness tips.
We encourage your feedback in completing a short survey about the WSU Alert notification system, and what can be done to improve the safety of WSU.
