University Alert System
March 31st, 2009 by Julia BolotinaWe hope that our campus is safe, and living in Toronto that’s not a hard assumption to make. However the truth is that emergency situations can happen anywhere and at any time, and we have to make sure we’re prepared for when they do. To that end, U of T has set up an emergency alert system that would send notifications to your cell phone in case of an emergency or crisis on your campus. Their website informs me that the system is run by the university Crisis Management Team with guidance from the campus and Toronto police, and confirms that your phone number will only be used for emergency or test messages, so you don’t have to worry about spam.
The program is opt-in, so make sure to register your cell phone number. If you have a campus direct-dial landline then your number is already in their database, but you might want to register your mobile as well. The program is free, but keep in mind that your carrier may charge you for the incoming message.
