Everbridge Emergency Notification System

Everbridge Mass Notification is the University’s emergency communication system.  The system allows the University to send a message to University faculty, staff and student cell, office, and home phones, as well as send text message, and email.  The system is only used at the discretion of the University’s EOC during major campus incidents, life safety emergencies, and for testing.  The system is dependent on the personal contact information provided by each individual in the WaveNet portal.
