The Emory Emergency Notification program is a multi-modal system for alerting students, staff, faculty and visitors of an emergency affecting the Emory community. The wide array of notification options affords Emory the flexibility to convey emergency information in the most appropriate manner and provides redundancy to help ensure the message gets out. Not all emergencies require all of the notification components to be engaged simultaneously.

How can I receive a text message?

Students and staff can access the Emergency Alert Information page by logging into OPUS. Simply enter your cell phone number and provider information. Be sure to update your information if you change your cell phone number or mobile carrier.

What if I forget to update?

You have a lot on your mind. Each semester when students log into OPUS they will be automatically prompted to view and update emergency contact information.

What should I do if I hear a siren or receive a notification?

Be aware of your surroundings and take action to provide for your safety. Share the information with others around you who may not have received the message. If you need more information visit the Emory website or tune to your local television/radio station.

Monthly Testing

Outdoor sirens, the public address system, and RAVE text messages will be tested at noon on the first Wednesday of each month. The CEPAR office will also send out a Twitter message to coincide with the monthly test. If inclement weather is present on the first Wednesday, the test will be postponed to the second Wednesday of the month. If inclement weather persists the test will be postponed until the following month.
