On Tuesday, March 25, 2025, 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. In an actual emergency, an email with the subject line including the phrase “TRITON ALERT” will be sent to all ucsd.edu accounts and via text to individuals who have provided a cell phone number. Users can update their emergency contact information, including their cell phone number, in the applicable Triton Alert Emergency Notification Portal. We will also send the message via X, 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 come from 893-61, or 888777. 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.
Anticipating and planning for emergency response minimizes possible injuries and property damage during a campuswide emergency, and eases resumption of normal business activity. 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 Emergency Management and Mission Continuity, emergency@ucsd.edu.
