University of Michigan Emergency Alert System

U-M Emergency Alert is a mass, urgent notification system, composed of a variety of methods by which the University can notify students, faculty, and staff of an active, major campus emergency: text messages (SMS) to cell phones, voice messages to phones, and emails. When the U-M Department of Public Safety (DPS) determines there is an active emergency in which the public safety of the campus may be at risk, DPS will initiate an urgent notification through the U-M Emergency Alert system. Examples are: when a person actively shooting a weapon is on the loose; when a tornado is predicted to strike the campus area; or when a major hazardous material spill is affecting a large portion of campus. You can register your preferred method of contact through Wolverine Access.
