AlertVU test scheduled for Thur., Sept. 7

Posted by on Monday, September 4, 2017 in Archives, News.

Vanderbilt will conduct a test of its AlertVU emergency notification system Thursday, Sept. 7, at 2:30 p.m.

AlertVU sends emergency messages in the event of an imminent threat or danger to the Vanderbilt community, such as a tornado forecasted to strike Vanderbilt or an active shooter on campus.

AlertVU rapidly disseminates emergency alerts to the delivery points in its database. All Vanderbilt students, faculty and staff are automatically enrolled in the system using their Vanderbilt email address.

Students will be directed to the YES system to access and update your personal contact information.

All persons are encouraged to update their emergency contact information at least annually, or as needed. To update your contact information, proceed to the AlertVU homepage and choose the designated portal.

If you need assistance with these steps, contact Jessamyn Davis.

*Users who opt to receive alerts via text messages may be subject to charges from their service providers.
