UFAlert emergency notification systems test

April 18, 2011

Today is a test of UFAlert emergency notification systems. This UF home page notification is posted in conjunction with the test. If this were an actual emergency, updates and additional information on the situation would be provided on the university’s home page.

If you had trouble receiving the e-mail message, please note that all active ufl.edu e-mail accounts are automatically included in the UFAlert e-mail notifications. If problems occurred with delivery of the e-mail and you have an active ufl.edu account, please ensure the white listing of the address UF-DISASTER-WARNING@LISTS.UFL.EDU in the “To” field of e-mails with your college or department IT provider and associated spam filtering systems.

A separate, unannounced test of the text messaging system was conducted April 3.

Students, faculty and staff are encouraged to regularly update their emergency contact information in MyUFL in order to receive text messages. Updates can be made at MyUFL> My Account > Update Emergency Contact.
