Be Prepared - Emergency Resource Guide
Stockton Public Safety will issue emergency notifications when it is necessary to quickly and clearly notify the campus community of hazards that potentially may affect them.
Notifications will either be an ADVISORY or an ALERT.
Stockton ADVISORY - Advisory will precede a message that is informational in nature, where immediate
action is not needed.
Ex: Stockton ADVISORY - Road Closure VKF & Pomona Road
Stockton ALERT - Alert will precede a message that requires immediate action be taken.
Ex: Stockton ALERT - ACTIVE INTRUDER (Followed by initial detail of the situation)
