Text message emergency alerts
|
Students, faculty, and staff can receive campus emergency information via mobile phones. The text messaging system is an option to USI’s current emergency communication system which includes notices on the USI Web site (www.usi.edu), telephone and e-mail alerts, and local media notices. The text message service is free. Users need a cell phone capable of receiving text messages, and they may be subject to their wireless service provider’s text messaging fees. Mobile or cell phone numbers are maintained in a secure database and are not used for any purpose other than activation during a campus emergency. Alerts about weather, cancellation of classes due to snow, or emergencies related to safety on campus will be sent with information of the situation and instructions to help protect the people on campus. Students, faculty and staff with a USIname@usieagles,org e-mail address can sign up online at www.usi.edu/emergency. Users can discontinue service through the Web site. |
