PolyAlert Campus Emergency Notification System
PolyAlert is Cal Poly’s Emergency Notification System, and the primary tool for delivering critical emergency information to help ensure the safety of our community. PolyAlert can distribute emergency notifications through email, SMS text, and voice. Cal Poly email addresses are automatically enrolled in the PolyAlert system, but we highly encourage anyone with a Cal Poly Portal account to register their cell phone number to receive emergency alerts via text message, as this will allow community members to rapidly receive any emergency information. Cal Poly students, faculty, staff, and auxiliary employees may register up to two phone numbers with the system on the “Personal Info” tab at my.calpoly.edu
Typical alerts sent out on this system include warnings of potential hazards, emergency instructions, evacuation orders, and other similar messages.
Cal Poly Partners
If you work at Cal Poly but do not have a Cal Poly email address, please contact your supervisor or email dem@calpoly.edu for information on how to enroll.
SLO Community Members and Supporters
