UM Alerts and Emergency Messaging
UM Alerts is the university's notification system for informing visitors and members of the campus community of immediate threats to their safety and health so they may take steps to protect themselves.
In any given situation, the University may issue one of three different types of alerts:
- UM Alert / Emergency Notification: A UM Emergency Notification is sent via text and e-mail when a significant emergency or situation on the UM campus poses an imminent or immediate danger. This message will provide a brief description of what is occurring, where it is occurring, and any recommended standard response protocol (SRP) to take for your safety. (SRP's are listed below)
- UM Alert / Timely Warning: A UM Timely Warning is a notification sent via UM e-mail in response to Clery crime(s) that have already occurred. These crimes pose a serious or continuing threat to students or employees. These messages will briefly describe the incident and recommend safety tips.
- UM Alert / Public Safety Notice: A UM Public Safety Notification is sent via e-mail with an option to be sent as a text message, depending upon the situation. These notices are for non-Clery reportable activity occurring on campus or non-campus property. Notices are sent at the university's discretion depending upon the need to inform the UM community for safety reasons that do not meet the Emergency Notification or Timely Warning requirements.
Anyone can opt-in to receive UM Emergency Notifications via text messaging. The process to opt in and opt out is described below. Please note that this is case-sensitive.
