Emergency Information

On a campus as large as San José State University, emergency situations arise from time to time. Our community will be better prepared and able to handle these stressful situations if we are all informed about the resources and information available to work through a crisis. This site provides information about how to stay in communication with the university and guides on what to do during an emergency.
