Emergency Notification & Information
Impacted employees, students, and guests may be notified in one or more ways when an emergency incident is unfolding. The purpose of notifying the PLU community is to facilitate safe action/choices by individuals given the situation and the individual’s environmental circumstances.
PLU Alert! is the emergency alert system for Pacific Lutheran University. In the event of an emergency incident on or near campus, all PLU community members will receive messages with details and instructions.
PLU Alert! broadcasts emergency notifications in several ways including email messages, phone calls, and text messages. If you see or hear a PLU Alert! message, follow its instructions immediately.
When a building fire alarm sounds, get out of the building. You can activate a fire alarm by pulling the lever on a red pull station, often located near exit doors. If you activated the alarm or if you see a fire, call Campus Safety at 253-535-7911.
Look for website updates on the university home page (www.plu.edu), when possible.
Check email often for notifications and updates, when possible.
