During times of crisis, Parent & Family Programs strives to keep parents informed
through social media and email updates. In emergency situations, the LSU Emergency
Operations Center disperses information throughout the LSU community, and Parent &
Family Programs works to relay that information to families.
The first line of communication in the event of an emergency is the emergency text messaging system, which is available to students, faculty, and staff. Having your student subscribe
to this service will ensure that all emergency communications are delivered directly
to their cell phone.
Since parents and family members cannot sign up for the emergency text messaging system,
we encourage you to download the LSU Mobile App to receive these messages. You must allow the app to send push-notifications in order
to receive a copy of emergency text notifications.
Additionally, we encourage families to familiarize themselves with the following resources
for emergency situations.

We hope these tips help you stay connected with your student and informed during any emergency situation on our campus.
