Easy access to emergency-closing information
|
Quick, correct information about weather-related emergency closings at the University of Southern Indiana is available to you. Receive text alerts on your cell phone when you sign up for RAVE, a text message alert system for USI students and employees. RAVE information is available at http://www.usi.edu/emergency/. You’ll need your MyUSI username and password to apply. Alerts arrive on your cell phone within minutes of when a closing decision is made. RAVE subscribers do not have to open a web site, tune to a newscast, or dial a University telephone number to gain weather-related emergency closing information. The information will be as close as your cell phone. If your cell phone is on a bed-side table, you can stay under the warm covers and get a text alert on your phone when a snow and/or ice event, or other emergency, forces a closing or delay in the early morning hours. Sign up today at www.usi.edu/emergency to get the next closing information in a text message that is quick, concise, and correct. The RAVE web site includes information about how the system works and answers to frequently asked questions. Kathy W. Funke News & Information Services 812/465-7050 or kfunke@usi.edu |
