Emergency Notification System Test Set for Feb. 12

The University of Scranton will test its emergency notification system on Thursday, Feb. 12.

The University uses Everbridge to send notices of emergencies, school closing and weather delays to members of the campus community via employee office phones, Scranton email addresses and numbers registered by employees and students to receive these notices on cell phones by voice or text.

Members of the University community are reminded to register, verify or update contact information for emergency notices, which can be done through the My.Scranton portal. Just choose “Emergency Notification” link in the announcement at the top of the page, or use the search box to find “Emergency Notification System Registration.”

The University’s emergency text alerts originate from 893-61 or 878-44. The email address for alerts is alerts@scranton.edu and phone alerts will also display 570-941-5427. Students, faculty and staff are asked to save these numbers to their contacts in order to identify future emergency notification alerts.
