WSU Emergency Alerts

Stay Connected with the WSU Alert System

Welcome to another academic year at Washington State University!

All WSU faculty, staff, and students are automatically enrolled in the WSU Alert System. We encourage you to log in to your MyWSU account to review your contact information and add additional delivery methods, such as a home or mobile phone number.

When WSU issues an emergency alert, notifications are primarily delivered via text message (SMS), voice call, or email. Adding multiple delivery methods increases the likelihood that you will receive important information during an emergency.

Emergency Information

Emergency notifications are designed to be brief and provide essential information. For additional details and ongoing updates during an emergency, please visit www.alert.wsu.edu. When available, this site will provide more comprehensive information and updates.

WSU may also share emergency information through its official social media channels.

Community Alerts

If you know someone who lives in the Pullman area and would like to receive WSU emergency notifications, they can enroll in text-only alerts by texting WSUALERTS26 to 888-777.

System Test

WSU campuses systemwide will conduct an emergency alert system test during the first month of classes. Additional information will be provided as the test date approaches.

The Notices and Announcements section is provided as a service to the WSU community for sharing events such as lectures, trainings, and other highly transactional types of information related to the university experience. Information provided and opinions expressed may not reflect the understanding or opinion of WSU. Accuracy of the information presented is the responsibility of those who submitted it. The self-uploaded posts are reviewed for compliance with state statutes and ethics guidelines but are not edited for spelling, grammar, or clarity.
