Emergency Communications

In the event of an emergency situation at Cal State San Bernardino, the campus home page and the front page of the CSUSB news website will be used to provide timely information for students, parents, faculty, staff, and other members of the Cal State San Bernardino family, as well as the news media. Emergency information will be updated regularly.

If the Cal State San Bernardino website is temporarily disabled because of unforeseen circumstances, you will be automatically re-directed to a special emergency information website through the California State University (Chancellor's Office).

Cal State San Bernardino's Office of Public Affairs is the official provider of information in the event of an emergency at or related to the University. A representative from the Office of Public Affairs is designated as the University's official spokesperson and will communicate information to the news media and the campus community.
