How does UM Emergency Alert work?
When the Department of Public Safety (DPS) determines there is an active emergency in which the public safety of most of the campus may be at risk, DPS will initiate an urgent notification through the UM Emergency Alert system. In order to receive these urgent notification alert messages, faculty, staff and students may register up to three communication devices, such as text message devices, cell phones or desk phones. Registration is available on Wolverine Access. Additionally, the University is already automatically registering all faculty, staff and student umich email addresses.
