Emergency Alert Services
Miami University has adopted a multi-modal approach to providing emergency alerts to the university community. The Miami Emergency Text Messaging system provides alerts to faculty, staff and students via their cell phones and e-mail. This service is managed jointly between IT Services and University Police. The Telephone Alert System (TAS) is used to provide alerts through our VoIP broadcast system for on-campus telephones. These systems will be used only in the case of imminent danger or campus closing. Coordination for all emergency alerts is provided by Miami's Institutional Response Team.
