Subject: UAlert Notifications
Date: April 28, 2011
To ensure that members of the University of Arizona community receive immediate notification of campus emergencies, the email addresses of all students and employees have been added to the UAlert system.
During an emergency, short updates are sent through the system to all registered users via email, text message or both. Users can add a second cell phone number and email address so that a friend or family member can receive the same information.
Administered by members of the UA's Campus Emergency Response Team, UAlert messages are only sent during critical situations, including road closures that affect travel near campus. The most recent alerts were sent April 5, when the intersection at North Park Avenue and East Speedway Boulevard was closed due to a traffic accident.
This service is free and voluntary and is not used to distribute advertising or other unsolicited content.
Employees and students are strongly encouraged to also register their cell phone numbers by going to http://alerts.arizona.edu and clicking on "sign up now." You'll need your UA NetID and password. While UAlert is a free service, you may be charged a standard text messaging fee by your service provider.
