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.
