AppState-ALERT is the Appalachian State University 24/7 emergency messaging system. Using a combination of text messaging, voice messaging, the siren warning system, email and web technologies, AppState-ALERT is designed to provide Appalachian students, faculty and staff members with timely information in the event of a campus emergency. Cell phone text and voice messages will only be sent by the University when an emergency exists that is considered an "imminent threat." An "imminent threat" is defined as a significant emergency or dangerous situation involving an immediate threat to the life safety of the campus community. Learn more

• A lockdown is designed to prevent people from entering or leaving a building. Additionally, movement inside the building is to be restricted. If the term lockdown is used, University Police will limit it to specific buildings that are in immediate danger. The term lockdown will only be used when there is information indicating an imminent threat of danger from an armed or dangerous person(s) on campus. Whenever possible, the specific building(s) affected should be identified in the declaration of a lockdown.
• When a Lockdown is declared the doors leading outside of the building should be locked (when possible) and people should not exit or enter the building. People should stay where they are and should not exit or enter a classroom, office or building. If people are in a hallway they should go to the nearest classroom or office.
  • Classroom and office doors should be locked or barricaded.
  • Turn off lights, radios, TVs, close blinds, and silence cell phones.
  • Keep occupants calm, quiet and out of sight.
  • If gunshots are heard, lay on the floor and try to use desks, file cabinets or concrete walls for additional protection.
• If you are outside when a lockdown is declared, seek safe shelter (eg. unlocked building, large trees, walls, cars in a parking lot) away from the danger area if known.
• If a fire alarm is activated during a lockdown, proceed with extreme caution.
• Wait for the "all clear" to be given before leaving safe shelter.

• During an elevated or high risk condition, students, staff and faculty may be directed to seek safe shelter. This is a precautionary measure aimed at keeping you safe while indoors. When possible, exterior doors to buildings should be locked but movement inside the building is not necessarily restricted. During this time people who you know or do not fit the description of the suspect(s) may be let into your building.
  • If you are outside trying to enter a locked building show your ID card.
  • Leave all parcels, briefcases, backpacks and gym bags outside away from the building entrance.
  • Open all outer garments for a visual inspection showing that you have no weapons.
• Consider what actions you may need to take should the situation escalate to a lockdown of the building you are in.
• If you feel comfortable and can do so without traveling through a danger area, leaving campus may be an option. There are risks and benefits to trying to leave campus during an emergency situation and your decision will need to be based on your individual situation.

• This means go indoors and find an interior room or hallway with no or few windows and taking refuge there until an evacuation can be safely initiated or an all clear is given.
• This does not mean leaving your building to go to a storm shelter, nor does it mean locking and sealing off your office or room.
