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.
Additionally, university colleges and departments are responsible for developing their own emergency action plans for their staffs and areas of responsibilities.
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 Emergency app for mobile devices. The app is a reference for the OSU Emergency Plan, which has emergency telephone numbers, immediate response procedures, and tasks to help prepare for various emergencies such as an earthquake and evacuation.
Please visit the OSU Emergency Preparedness website (http://emergency.oregonstate.edu) to view instructions on how to enroll in the OSU Alert system and download the Emergency App.
Additionally, please review your campus emergency plan and prepare for emergency events. College and department procedures are available within each organization. Campus plans are located at:
- Corvallis campus (http://emergency.oregonstate.edu)
- OSU – Cascades campus (http://osucascades.edu/emergency)
- Hatfield Marine Science Center campus (http://hmsc.oregonstate.edu/emergency-information)
Thank you for your prompt attention to these important safety measures.
