Timely Warnings

In the event that a situation arises, either on or off-campus, that, in the judgment of the Director of the Campus Public Safety Office of Portland State University, constitutes an ongoing or continuing threat, a campus wide “timely warning” will be issued.

Depending on the particular circumstances of the crime or emergency, especially in all situations that could pose an immediate threat to the community and individuals, the Campus Public Safety Office may notify the campus community through a variety of means:

  1. PSU Campus Announcement System via myPSU Portal under the “Daily Messages” channel.
  2. Printed Notices, when appropriate may be posted at campus locations affected by the emergency.
  3. PSU-Alert emergency information will broadcast information via text, email and/or voice messages to the campus community.
  4. Crime Alerts that remain an issue of on-going concern to the campus community are posted on the Campus Public Safety Office web site, http://www.pdx.edu/cpso/timely-warnings
  5. Local Media may also be provided information when the risk of harm in a particular incident can reasonably be expected to extend to off-campus areas.

Anyone with information warranting a timely warning should immediately report to the Campus Public Safety Office, by phone (503-725-4407) or in person at the Campus Public Safety Office, Shattuck Hall, suite 148, 1914 SW Park.
