Emergency Notification System at Harvard

MessageMe is Harvard University’s Emergency Notification System. MessageMe allows the University to quickly distribute critical information to you, wherever you are located, during an emergency.

MessageMe helps you to stay informed in the event of an emergency by sending alerts to your personal electronic device (cell phone, pda, smartphone, etc.) through text messaging, voice, and/or email.

MessageMe is used in conjunction with other University tools to alert the Harvard Community of critical events that are either in progress or to provide a warning if an event is about to occur.
