Emergency Alerts & Responses

The university has a wide range of emergency communication systems capable of sending messages when needed—text message alerts being the quickest and most readily accessible by students, faculty, and staff.  We encourage staff and faculty to sign up for campus text alerts online.


The Office of Emergency Management continually evaluates our emergency communication methods to provide them on the best platforms.
