Communicating during an emergency

In an emergency, knowing where to find fast, accurate information is essential.

You can stay informed through these official channels:

• ������Ƶ website: the primary source for campus-wide information and instructions.
• ������Ƶ Alerts: urgent messages that request action or inform that campus is closed. They are usually sent by text, email and/or ������Ƶ SafetyApp push notifications.
• Official social media accounts: updates from ������Ƶ’s official accounts.
• Digital signage: on-campus displays showing key updates and safety instructions.

������Ƶ Alerts

������Ƶ Alerts is the university’s mass notification system. ������Ƶ uses this system to send urgent messages for serious, disruptive events. Messages may include:

• Safety instructions
• Evacuation notices
• Shelter-in-place guidance
• Significant service disruptions

Sign up for text alerts:

1. Go to ������Ƶ Online Tools.
2. Update your profile (under Personal & account profile).
3. Add your mobile number and select 'Text message enabled'.

Without current contact information, ������Ƶ may not be able to reach you.

Please note: 

• Standard message and data rates may apply.
• Message frequency may vary.
• Carriers are not responsible for undelivered messages.

Testing

������Ƶ Alerts undergoes testing usually twice a year. Testing is essential to ensure ������Ƶ can provide an effective mass notification system.
