Updating Phone/Text Numbers for U-M Emergency Alerts

Environment

U-M Emergency Alerts

Issue

Hot to update phone/text numbers for U-M Emergency Alerts.

Resolution

U-M Emergency Alert system keeps students, faculty, and staff informed about major active emergencies on campus. This system will be activated by the Division of Public Safety and Security (DPSS). 

  • The phone numbers associated with your account can be changed or updated at: http://alerts.umich.edu/
  • Active student, faculty member, or staff member may enroll up to three landline numbers to receive a voice message call and may also add up to two additional mobile phone numbers on their account.
    • This is recommended for adding family members or friends.
  • If you have active student or employee affiliations with more than one U-M campus (Ann Arbor, Dearborn, or Flint), you will be automatically enrolled to receive U-M Emergency Alerts sent from each of the campuses with which you are affiliated.
  • If you do not have an active affiliation with another campus, you may enroll to receive alerts from additional campuses. Select the “Opt-In Lists” tab near the top of the page to subscribe to additional campus alerts.
  • Individuals who are unaffiliated with the university may receive alerts on their mobile device by downloading the U-M Public Safety App or the Michigan App and enabling notifications.
