EMERGENY NOTIFICATION AND WARNING SYSTEM (FSU ALERT)
Notification Methods:
- Alerts Page (alerts.fsu.edu)
The University has established a dedicated emergency information web page, FSU ALERTS, which is available 24/7/365. All other FSU ALERT emergency notification delivery methods instruct you to come to this website for the most current, most comprehensive updated details about what is occurring. Above all else, FSU will ensure that the Alerts Page provides the most complete and accurate information available.
- SeminoleSAFE Mobile App
The SeminoleSAFE Mobile App places all the emergency information you need including alerts, announcements, response guides, and push notifications all in one place. The mobile app is available for free on the Apple App Store and Google Play store. Learn more >>
- Outdoor Sirens
The University has outdoor warning sirens on the main campus, Innovation Park / Southwest Campus, FSU Lakefront Park, and the Recreational SportsPlex. Learn More >>.
- Indoor Sirens
The university currently has over seventy (70) buildings capable of indoor emergency alerts. These are a combination of alert tone, followed by voice instructions. In most cases, the alerts are delivered via the existing fire alarm system or other public address system already in the building. Learn More >>.

The University has purchased a number of specialty alert beacons, which are wall or desk mounted devices that flash lights, emit an alert tone, and display a text message on its screen. These beacons have been deployed to Technology Enhanced Classrooms which are located in buildings not capable of Indoor Sirens. If you are on-campus department, college, or other entity that would like to purchase beacons, please contact us today.
