OSU community members,

As a member of the OSU community, it is important that you are aware of the university’s plans and processes for emergencies. The OSU Emergency Operation Plan includes information about how the university operates during emergencies; establishes response priorities; and implements emergency processes.

University colleges and departments are responsible for developing their own emergency action plans for their staffs and areas of responsibilities.

Please review your campus/center emergency plan and prepare for emergency events. College and department plans are available within each organization. Plans are located at:

• Corvallis campus
• OSU-Cascades campus
• Hatfield Marine Science Center

In the event of emergencies, OSU uses two key systems to prepare and inform the community:

• OSU Alert system. OSU issues timely warnings via the OSU Alert system when a crime and/or serious threat to the campus community occurs, and members need to take action to protect themselves. Text/SMS messages are the fastest way to receive these alert messages.

• OSU

• DamSafe app for mobile devices.

• This app provides a safety tool that enables users to invite a friend to be a virtual companion as the travel on campus. A red “Alert Button” allows users to notify designated companions if they have an emergency and provides immediate connections to 9-1-1 public safety officials by pressing a single button.

Please visit the OSU Emergency Preparedness website

Thank you for your prompt attention to these important safety measures.
