Emergency Preparedness
SDSU Mass Notification System
SDSU has a Mass Notification System that is capable of alerting the campus community, primarily in outdoor areas, in the event of a campus emergency or health and safety concern.
The Mass Notification System has been installed atop buildings throughout campus:
- Geology Mathematics and Computer Sciences
- Education and Business Administration
- Love Library (southwest corner)
- Love Library (northeast corner)
- Gateway
- Aztec Athletics Center
- Aztec Recreation Center
- Arts and Letters
- Life Sciences North
And within additional buildings and residence halls:
- Zura
- Tenochca
- Cuicacalli
- Maya
- Olmeca
- Chapultapec
- Love Library
- Viejas Arena (administrative office)
- Manchester Hall
- Don Powell Theatre
- Music (auditorium)
When activated by University Police, the system is capable of alerting the campus community using a combination of tones, sirens and voice. The Mass Notification System will only be used by SDSU for emergency notification purposes and periodic testing of the system.
Caution: Please keep in mind SDSU’s Mass Notification System is one of the many forms of communication which may be utilized in an emergency. While we believe this system is effective and efficient, you should not wait for, or rely exclusively on, a mass notification system to contact you for appropriate action in response to an emergency. Be aware of your surroundings, and take appropriate action.
