About the University Alert Notification System

In the event of an emergency, the University community will be notified through the Alert Notification System, which comprises a number of alert components intended to enhance communication with the campus community. These components include website alerts, email, voice mail, campus sirens and Code Blue Phone Kiosks.

Depending on the nature of the emergency, one or more of the following actions may be taken in an effort to reach as many members of the campus community as possible:

• Alert banners may appear on University of Connecticut web pages, directing users to this website
• Text messages may be sent to cell phones. Please register your cell phone today
• Voice mail, email, and/or the web may be used to update students and others about a potentially threatening situation
• Outdoor sirens and/or public address speakers, located at the Storrs campus and regional campuses, may be sounded as appropriate to alert persons who are not in buildings
