1/10 – Buckeye Alert System Test, Additional Safety Resources
A Buckeye Alert system test will occur on Wednesday (1/10). Students, faculty and staff will receive a text message that will be clearly identified as a test. The system also sends severe weather alerts to the entire university community for significant winter weather updates. For additional information and safety resources, including links to Ohio State's "Surviving an Active Shooter" video as well as a safety messaging toolkit, please see below.


Winter Weather Preparedness
As the winter weather season approaches, Ohio State’s Emergency Management team will continue to monitor weather and share significant updates with the university community. Information will be posted on this page and via Twitter @OSU_EMFP (link is external).

Preparing for Emergency Situations

If a Buckeye Alert is issued, information will be posted on this page and on Emergency Management’s Twitter account @OSUEMFP (link is external) and Facebook account (link is external).

Below is a brief overview of safety resources to help prepare you for emergency situations:

  • Active Shooter Video
  • Safety Messaging Toolkit
  • About Alert Notices
  • Buckeye Alert Desktop Pop-ups

    • As an additional resource to provide the campus community with safety information, Buckeye Alerts will be shared via a pop-up message on select public desktop computers on campus. These computers include machines located in pool classrooms (those managed through University Registrar Classroom Scheduling), computer labs and libraries. The desktop pop-up message will contain the same information that is shared in Buckeye Alerts sent via text message. Users may close the message after it appears on their screen.
