What other emergency notification systems are used at UGA?
UGA uses a number of redundant notification systems including outdoor emergency sirens (primarily for weather related events); emergency pagers and public address systems located in certain campus buildings; Archnews (a campus-wide email system able to send messages to approximately 50,000 individuals in 20 minutes to one hour); an AM radio station maintained by the UGA Police Department; NOAA weather radios located in many UGA buildings; telephone trees (where assigned individuals call others with emergency messages); UGA-specific crawler messages on all TVs subscribed to the University Cablevision (including offices and residence halls) and announcements over police cruiser PA systems when warranted.
