ALL STUDENTS, ACADEMICS AND STAFF AT UC SAN DIEGO (Including UC San Diego Health)
Required Test of the UC San Diego Emergency Notification System (Triton Alert)
On December 10, 2020, UC San Diego will send a test Triton Alert emergency notification to all ucsd.edu accounts. Students, faculty, and staff will also receive test text messages if they have provided a cell phone number for this delivery method. Users can update their emergency contact information by going to http://go.ucsd.edu/2dyFnLp. We will also send the message via Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. Follow us at @UCSDTritonAlert.
Triton Alert emails and text messages are delivered through the use of an outside vendor named Everbridge. The Triton Alert email will come from “Triton Alert <noreply@everbridge.net>". The Triton Alert text will typically come from 893-61, and the message may include a weblink that starts with “https://evb.gg/....” which will include the full Triton Alert message, since a standard text message is limited by character count. It is helpful to recognize these addresses as a message from UC San Diego.
The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act (Clery Act) requires annual, announced tests of our campus emergency notification system. In addition, every UC San Diego department must have an Emergency Action Plan (EAP), which provides detailed information about the evacuation procedures for individual buildings. Take the time to familiarize yourself with your EAP before an emergency occurs. For assistance or questions, please contact Dismas Abelman, Emergency Manager, at dabelman@ucsd.edu, or 858-534-5451.
