Threat and Violence Prevention

What To Do

  • If you experience or observe imminent violence call emergency services at 911 (or 9-911 from a campus phone) immediately and get to a safe location.
  • If you believe a crime has been committed against you, you have the right to report that to the proper law enforcement agency.

Campus emergency

If there is a reported emergency on campus, AlertSU, Stanford's emergency notification system will deliver time-sensitive emergency notifications to faculty, staff, students, postdocs and other members of the Stanford community via voice mail, email and text-messaging based on the personal contact info on file with the university. Status updates are available online and through a recorded phone message.

Stanford's emergency information hotline is: 650-725-5555.
