The message “SMU Alert! This is a test of SMU emergency notification system. This is only a test” will be broadcast. Building occupants do not need to take action during the test, but are requested to complete this feedback form, if possible, to help enhance the effectiveness of this communication system.
During an actual emergency, SMU may utilize the following methods to communicate emergency information and procedures to the campus community:
· Indoor Notification System (Main Campus Only)
· Email notification to SMU email account (noreply@everbridge.net)
· Text message to cell phone (sender short codes include 888777, 89361, and 87844)
· Audio message to a cell phone or other telephone
· Designated SMU website
· @SMUAware on Twitter
· SMU Information Line (214) 768-INFO
All initial messages will provide a brief description of the emergency. When additional information is available, some or all of these methods may be used to update or direct students, staff, and faculty with further instructions. The information may include cautions about certain areas to avoid, how the emergency is impacting class schedules and what actions the campus community should take.
