In the event of an emergency at Stanford Redwood City (SRWC), the SRWC Operations team will distribute information as needed to the campus community via AlertSRWC, the new SRWC Alerts & Notices webpage, and/or reminders posted to the SRWC Ops Announcements Slack channel (#srwc-ops-announcements).

For information on how to opt-in/register for AlertSRWC, go here.

In the event of limited communication capacity, the SRWC emergency information hotline (650-497-1111), KZSU 90.1 FM and/or the Stanford University emergency website may be activated to disseminate emergency information.

Automated Shades:

Please do not attach clips, post-its or other items to the shades in your area or leave plants on the window sill. If you notice anything, please remove them for smooth functioning of the shades.

Bike Rooms:

If you're commuting on a bike to the campus, make sure you know the right way to lock your bike to the stands outside each building. There are also secure bike rooms near the entrance to the Recreation and Wellness Center and across the street from Pine Cone Children's Center.

Space heaters are not allowed on campus:

Space heaters are not permitted in the buildings. As noted by the University EH&S Department and Office of Sustainability, such heating units can use considerable energy, cause breakers to trip and are dangerous when unattended.
