If you feel unwell with flu- or cold-like symptoms, please stay home, take necessary precautions and seek guidance from a health care provider. Applicable policies and guidelines will be updated based on the latest public health recommendations to ensure the safety of our campus community.

On Feb. 12 at 9 a.m., a message will be sent via the emergency notification system to start the evacuation drill. Multiple modalities may be utilized, including desktop alerts, digital signage, library PA, Cougar Central PA and text messages. Your building’s fire alarm also may activate. The drill is expected to last 20-30 minutes. Please evacuate the building, report to the nearest evacuation zone and wait for the “all clear” before re-entering.

You can review the building evacuation zone assignments at https://www.csusm.edu/em/documents/csusmevaczones24.pdf.
