Emergency Preparedness
Our goal is to provide you the safest on campus experience possible. In order to do so, we want to keep you informed and prepared for potential campus emergencies that may occur this year.
Returning to Shelter-In-Place
It is very possible that Stanford could return to a strict “Shelter in Place” status similar to the one experienced in March 2020. Although campus is already under strict guidelines, additional County Shelter in Place restrictions could continue to happen. These restrictions could include - elimination of gatherings of any size, online courses only, increased levels of testing, closing of recreation centers, libraries, campus labs and many/most other campus buildings.
General Info
In order to prepare yourself for a campus emergency, it is crucial that you keep an eye out for updates on the Emergency Information Page and CardinalReady's need to know page.
Additionally, we'd like to remind you to double check your contact information for AlertSU, Stanford's emergency notification strategy for communicating time-sensitive information during a campus emergency. Students can update their information through Axess.
