UAH will conduct a test of the UAlert Notification System on Wednesday, January 15, at 10:00 a.m. The test will allow UAH to evaluate the system and allow campus users to become accustomed to receiving alert messages from UAH. UAlert is a communications solution that allows the University to quickly disseminate urgent messages through multiple communication methods including:
- Voice messages to mobile, home, and office phones
- Text messages to mobile phones
- Email messages
- UAH and UAH Police Facebook pages
- UAHuntsville (@UAHuntsville) and UAH UAlert (@UAH_UAlert) Twitter Feeds
- RSS (http://www.getrave.com/rss/uah/channel1)
- Rave Guardian mobile app (available for Android and iOS devices from their app stores)
