UM Emergency Alert Definitions

UM Emergency Alert numbers will be used solely in the case of a campus-wide alert and the authority to send a message is the responsibility of the Division of Public Safety and Security. Examples of situations where a notification may be sent are a tornado warning, potential life threatening incident, or hazardous spill.

UM Emergency Alert numbers must be 10-digit U.S. phone numbers including the area code.
