USU Emergency Management

Aggie Alerts

Aggie Alerts are your direct line to critical safety information at USU. Get immediate notifications sent straight to your device about severe weather, emergencies, ongoing threats, or safety concerns on or near campus.

Types of Alerts

USU Public Safety follows a decision matrix to determine which alert is sent to the university community.

Emergency Notifications

An Emergency Notification is sent when a significant emergency or dangerous situation poses an immediate threat to the health and safety of the campus community. A significant emergency could include an impending and dangerous weather event, an active shooter or terrorist attack, or a gas leak.

Crime Alerts/Timely Warnings

Crime Alerts (also called Timely Warning Notices) provide information about a crime on campus so students and staff can protect themselves and prevent similar crimes from occurring. USU Police determine if or when to send crime alerts on a case-by-case basis.
