La Sierra Alerts

La Sierra Alerts are an emergency mass notification system that alerts students, faculty, and staff with texts, campus email and the university website in the event of an emergency.  Response instructions for the crisis will be sent via text and/or email messages to the campus. All faculty, staff, and students are recommended to register their cell phones through the My La Sierra in order to receive these important messages. All registered students, current faculty, and staff emails are automatically uploaded to the La Sierra Emergency Notification system on a regular basis.
