Be prepared for emergencies

In the event of a potential threat or emergency situation on campus, Missouri S&T will activate its mass notification system (MNS). If danger is imminent or there is the threat of physical harm, such as the possibility of an active shooter on or approaching campus, the university will issue two types of alerts as soon as officials are made aware of the situation. They will: 

1. Notify campus through electronic means consisting of phone, text and email notifications to all who are registered for the MNS (sign up at http://alert.mst.edu/emergencyalertsystem.html)
2. Sound the Missouri S&T Power Plant’s steam whistle as a means of alerting those within hearing distance of a potential threat to campus

If you hear the steam whistle sound, prepare to receive further information through text message, email or voice notification. If the emergency warrants and it is safe to do so, leave the campus immediately.
