Introducing CougarAlert ...

CougarAlert is CSU's version of a Connect-Ed system that allows university officials to send emergency messages via cell phone text message, voice recording to other phones and through e-mail. This system will only be used to communicate during emergencies.

CougarAlert can reach up to three phone numbers per person, plus university e-mail addresses. The system allows students who provide a cell phone number to be reached during emergencies even if they're not on campus, tuned into local news or checking e-mail.

Because there can be a delay between a CougarAlert message being sent and actually reaching your phone, please do not rely on this system for instructions during a sudden weather emergency, such as a tornado. When the county's severe weather sirens are activated, go to the lowest part of your building and seek shelter away from windows. The alarms will sound again when it is safe to leave your shelter.

The university will provide additional information when available through the CSU home page, CougarNet and local media outlets.
