You can take a few simple steps to ensure that you receive timely AlertSU emergency alerts.

  • Verify that your contact information is correct in Axess (students) or StanfordYou (faculty and staff).
    • Students: In Axess, make sure there is an entry in the mobile phone field as this is the most rapid and direct way to communicate with you during an emergency.
    • Faculty and Staff: In StanfordWho, make sure there is an entry in the mobile phone field, as this is the most rapid and direct way of communication with you during an actual emergency. As a reminder: the university requires that employees maintain their directory entry and opt in to AlertSU with their work phone number, email address, and any university-issued or reimbursed cell phone number. Please click here for step by step instructions on how to enter your contact information in StanfordYou or visit https://police.stanford.edu/alert/alertsu-faq.html for more information.
  • In order to know you are receiving an official AlertSU message, please program the following information into your mobile phone contacts.
    • Email Address: alertsudps@lists.stanford.edu
    • Phone Number: 650-725-5555
    • Text Message phone number: 89361
  • Members of the public and those without a profile in Axess or StanfordWho can receive emergency alerts by downloading the Stanford mobile app and enabling push notifications.
