New page debuts on emergency website

A new weather alerts page on the university emergency website, emergency.wustl.edu, will give the university community information about how they can sign up for weather-related emails and text-message alerts from the National Weather Service and other local news outlets.

The page can be found at emergency.wustl.edu/resources/weather_alerts.html or by going to emergency.wustl.edu and clicking on the “Weather Alerts” link in the “Alerts” box.

The university’s emergency website, emergency.wustl.edu, provides other useful information to help the campus community prepare for an emergency, including directions for how to prepare for various emergency situations and how to respond should they occur. Members of the WUSTL community also can follow directions posted on the website to sign up for WUSTLAlerts, which sends emergency messages via text message, phone calls and emails to WUSTL email accounts in the event of an emergency on or near campus.

For more information, contact Mark Bagby, emergency management coordinator, at (314) 935-9261.
