The WSU Office of Emergency Management will be conducting the fall semester test of the WSUAlert system October 12 at 12:05 p.m. Faculty, staff and students associated with the Pullman campus who have signed up for emergency notifications will receive text messages, phone calls,and emails which will be clearly identified as a test. This test will also include the campus outdoor warning sirens and computer pop-up alerts.
Washington State University places the safety and security of its students, employees, and visitors as its highest priority. WSU has developed the WSUAlert System to disseminate official information via email, text messages, telephone, loudspeakers, Alert Website, and other means to notify the campus population of emergencies or threatening situations. This can include inclement weather, violent actions, and gas leaks. When such events occur, WSU will activate appropriate components of the system to alert people that they should be Aware of the situation, Assess their individual circumstances, and Act to take appropriate safety precautions. 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.
All WSU students, staff and faculty can subscribe to WSUAlerts. Visit myWSU to register/update your emergency contact information. See alert.wsu.edu for more information.
