Emergency Notification System for UGA
Jul 26, 2007 - 11:40:11 AM
The University of Georgia encourages all students, faculty and staff to register emergency contact number(s) in UGAAlert, the University’s primary emergency notification system. Although college campuses are usually safe places, emergencies and disasters do occur. UGA is committed to keeping the campus community as safe as possible through effective communication prior to, during and following emergencies. UGAAlert allows students, faculty and staff to receive emergency messages on multiple devices. Individuals may identify as many as three phone numbers and two e-mail addresses for receiving emergency notifications. Both voice and text messages can be sent to cell phones. To register, a valid UGA MyID is required. Registration is simple and straightforward. Visit http://www.ugaalert.uga.edu/ and follow the instructions.
Other than periodic tests, this system will only be used for emergencies requiring immediate action on the part of the UGA community. A list of frequently asked questions is available at the login Web site. For other questions, please contact the Office of Security and Emergency Preparedness at osep@uga.edu or 706-542-5845.
