Auburn has just launched an emergency notification system for students and faculty. The system, AU Alert will allow voice and text messages to be sent to members of the system if an emergency is to arise. Membership is voluntary, but a good precaution for all to take.
Students and faculty can sign up for the AU Alert on its Web site, www.auburn.edu/aualert. It asks for your primary cell phone number, alternate e-mail accounts and land lines. Any information sent out on AU Alert will still be sent out via TigerMail as well. From severe weather alerts to campus violence, people signed up for the alert will now be able to receive pressing information quickly and conveniently.
