About EMU Alerts

EMU Alerts is a notification system capable of sending emergency notifications instantly and simultaneously to registered mobile phones and email addresses. EMU has contracted with Rave Mobile Safety as our EMU Alerts system provider.

EMU Alerts is an opt-out system. Mobile phone numbers and email addresses are automatically enrolled to the alert system. Instructions for opting-out are below.

Sending EMU Alerts

The EMU Alerts system is only used for urgent campus-wide messages authorized by a campus administrator who is a member of the President's cabinet. The system will be tested occasionally with appropriate advance notice to the campus.

In a typical year four to six messages are sent through the EMU Alerts system. The most common reason is for an alert is weather related class cancellation.

How we user your information

Only members of the EMU Crisis Management Preparedness Team (CMPT) and its designated agents will have access to the information. All information within the EMU Alerts system is private. We will never publicize your phone numbers or email addresses without your permission.

If you do not wish to receive EMU Alerts messages please visit the employee update or student update form and select "No, I DO NOT want EMU Alert messages" for your mobile phone and/or non-EMU email addresses. EMU Alerts will always be sent to your EMU email address.

We encourage all faculty, staff and students to remain enrolled in EMU Alerts. Enrollment will ensure you receive notifications critical to your safety and well being. 

Requirements

To receive EMU Alerts you'll need a phone that supports text (SMS) messaging or a non-EMU email address. Nearly all mobile phones support text messaging; home and office phones generally do not. Rave will not attempt to sent alert messages to non-supported phones.
