ISU Alert is an electronic system to deliver emergency messages to students, faculty, and staff quickly. Notifications are sent via landline phones, cell phones, text messages, and e-mail. Messages are brief, include basic information and provide instructions on how to obtain more details. The ISU Alert system will be used only for emergencies posing an immediate danger to the university community. Examples include:
Bomb threats or other imminent violent threats,
Fires, natural gas leaks and hazardous spills affecting the entire campus,
Building evacuations or lockdowns affecting the entire campus,
Biological or pandemic emergency notifications,
Natural disasters,
Power outages and utility failures resulting in an imminent threat, and
Campus closure due to a declared civil emergency.
All members of the ISU community are encouraged to keep their ISU Alert contact information up to date, and edits may be made using AccessPlus.
