How many TrinAlert text messages will I receive?
Text messages will be sent only to alert you to emergency situations in which there is an imminent threat to public safety. Occasionally, the university may also test the system by sending an announced test message. The exact number is difficult to predict, but there should be very few. You will receive messages within seconds of their transmission. If your cell phone is turned off when a text message is sent, you will receive it after you turn your cell phone on, but only if you do so within seven days from the original transmission.
