Reminder: Sign Up for or Update Your Information to Receive DU Alerts
New faculty and staff can sign up for the DU Alert notification system, an automated message notification system used to contact employees and students about emergencies or major disruptions to campus services. This is one of several emergency communication methods the University uses.
Those who already subscribe to DU Alerts are reminded to update their information upon changes to their mobile and land-line numbers.
DU Alert subscribers receive brief messages (activated by designated University personnel) via voice and text messages on their cell phones and voice messages on their home landlines. In addition, DU Alert voicemails are sent to all campus office and residence hall landlines.
Examples of such emergencies or disruptions include:
- A life-threatening emergency
- Imminent danger, including a major fire or shooting
- Imminent disaster, including an earthquake or flood
- Severe weather, including tornado warnings
- Major interruptions of campus operations, such as snow delays, class cancellations and office closures.
