Southern University at New Orleans takes emergency preparedness seriously and plans to do everything that we can to address the safety concerns of our students, faculty, staff and infrastructure. Due to the number of emergencies that can arise on a university’s campus, we have taken steps to protect our SUNO family. We have the capability to send e-mail and text alert messages. Our Emergency Plan is available via the website at http://www.suno.edu/Emergency_Plan/.

In the event of an evacuation, information and contact with SUNO can be made via: http://www.sunoonline.com  or 1-866-749-1935. Academic instruction updates will also be available via Blackboard.
