My USC Sumter

Emergency Alerts

During an emergency, USC Sumter may send you a text message. Every incident is unique, therefore, different communication media will be activated based on their reach, effectiveness and location. Text messages will only be used if a situation exists that poses an immediate risk to life and safety and requires persons to change their behavior (i.e. seek shelter, evacuate, etc.).
