Our number one priority is to alert those individuals on campus who are in immediate danger first. As such, not all of the 28 methods we use to alert someone on campus personnel are available to off-campus persons due to physical or technological limitations of each notification method.
If you do not fit within one of the aforementioned categories (e.g. alumni, boosters), we encourage you consider one or more of the following FSU ALERT emergency notification system methods, as an alternative:
1. www.fsu.edu Front Page: During an emergency at Florida State University, the main university Web Site, www.fsu.edu, will include prominent links to the Alerts Page. Look for one of the following.
- "Emergency Info" under "Quick Links". (click HERE too see a sample)
- Red FSU ALERT box under News / Events. (Sample)
- Gold FSU ALERT top banner. (Sample)
- Complete override of the Front Page with the Alerts Page.
2. alerts.fsu.edu Alerts Page: Everything points here. This is the official source for the most up to date emergency information and announcements.
