BLAST - Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is BLAST?
A: BLAST is Armstrong Atlantic State University's emergency communication
system. The system is designed to send vital messages to your designated
emergency phone number and email address in the event of a disruption of normal
campus operations or in the case of an emergency. BLAST may also be used
periodically to inform the AASU community about important events on campus.
For caller ID purposes, please add the BLAST telephone number, 912-344-2885, to your mobile devices. This will enable you to identify when a BLAST notice is being delivered to you.

A: The BLAST system contains information for all AASU faculty, staff, and
currently enrolled students.
