Emergency Preparedness
The Stanford Redwood City (SRWC) campus emergency management program is designed in concert with the updated university Emergency Management Program. The SRWC campus has an Emergency Operations Center (EOC) that is managed by the SRWC Operations team. A key feature of the plan is a focus on building-centric emergency plans. Also consider registering on ShakeOut.org for natural disaster-related emergency updates in your area.
AlertSU
AlertSU will be used to notify SRWC employees of time-sensitive campus safety issues and provide updates in the event of an emergency affecting the SRWC community. These alerts will also be posted to the Redwood City alerts page. SRWC Operations also maintains an emergency information hotline (650-497-1111), which provides a recorded campus status message when activated.
Maintaining your profile in the StanfordYou directory is critical for emergency communications. The AlertSU system sends alerts via SMS text and email using contact information from StanfordYou.
