Emergency Communications

During campus emergency incidents, our emergency response teams will provide life safety information to the university community and general public.

BCEM, in conjunction with Public Safety and University Strategic Communications, disseminates federally mandated emergency communications to the UTSA community by text, email or phone via the UTSA Alerts emergency notification system. Its secondary warning systems include desktop notifications.

The Department of Public Safety disseminates federally mandated emergency communications to the UT San Antonio community by text, email or phone via the UTSA Alerts emergency notification system. Its secondary warning systems include desktop notifications.

During campus emergencies, University Strategic Communications shares emergency information on its official social media platforms—the @UTSA channels on X/Twitter, Instagram and Facebook—to more broadly reach the campus community and general public. It also provides updates about business closures due to inclement weather or other situations on these social media channels.

When necessary, University Strategic Communications posts emergency information or operational updates on UT San Antonio Today and shares them with local television and radio stations in the San Antonio area. Information may also be posted on the UT San Antonio homepage, as warranted.
