When will WarnMe be used?
The UCSF Police Department will activate the WarnMe system only when necessary, such as in the event of an immediate threat to life or safety. The UCSF Police Department may also activate WarnMe to send urgent and important messages when information will be helpful, but no individual action is immediately required. For example, you will be warned and instructed about what to do if there is: • Someone with a gun threatening the campus. • A major chemical spill that requires action. • An approaching wildfire or an earthquake. • A bomb threat that police believe is credible enough to warrant taking precautions. • Other kinds of significant emergencies on or near campus in which warnings will be helpful.
