On Wednesday, February 12, at about 12:05 p.m., Stanford University will conduct its annual test of the campus AlertSU system. Alert messages will be sent via text message and email to the Stanford community. It will also post to the University emergency website, Public Safety website and the Stanford mobile app.
Of note for Palo Alto residents, the outdoor warning system will also be activated during the test. The sirens will be audible throughout the campus and may also be heard in parts of Palo Alto. If you are outside, you may hear an audible tone for approximately 30 seconds, followed by a verbal message from one of the 7 sirens at various campus locations.
