I'm not 100% sure what is going on. Just all of the sudden the police showed up with guns out and headed up the stairs. There are police surrounding the library. A helicopter overhead. Campus police let me leave my handicap parking spot. I was surrounded by squad cars. I'm parked far enough away now to feel safe and close enough to see. I'm shook up! I'm safe.— at University of South Florida,” a person said on Facebook.

The University of South Florida operates AlertUSF, a comprehensive Emergency Notification System (ENS) designed to quickly inform and protect the campus community during emergencies. The system uses multiple, overlapping communication channels to maximize reach, with regular testing to ensure reliability.
When a potential threat is reported, USF officials verify the situation, which may involve law enforcement incidents, hazardous material releases, or severe weather affecting a campus. Once confirmed, officials evaluate community safety, decide what information should be shared, and initiate alerts. In some cases, notifications may be delayed if immediate messaging could hinder victim assistance, containment efforts, or emergency response.
