Southern Illinois University Carbondale currently is operating under normal conditions.

There are no SIUC Alerts at this time. In the event of an emergency, this space will be used to post SIUC Alerts and additional information, if available.

SIUC Alerts are messages about an emergency. The message may alert you to an emergency situation, ask you to take action, or both. Any information about flash floods, severe thunderstorms, winter storms, tornadoes, etc. will also be sent as an SIUC Alert.

Please note that no communication distribution method is infallible. For that reason, SIUC uses redundant systems of emergency communication, including telephone, Internet, e-mail, radio, loudspeakers, person to person, and text messaging, to distribute news and instructions during an emergency.

Before an emergency arrives, please make yourself aware of all of the distribution methods by clicking on each of the icons on the left of this page.

You can also print out an Emergency Communications Card which lists all of the emergency communications distribution web sites, the Emergency Information Line phone number, buildings with a loud speaker system, and the SIUC Police Emergency Band frequency.
