DrexelALERT

Drexel University has implemented an emergency notification system called DrexelALERT, which will enable fast and efficient dissemination of critical information to students, faculty and staff of the Drexel University community, including students, faculty and staff of the Drexel University College of Medicine.

Within minutes, DrexelALERT allows the Department of Public Safety to send alerts through text messaging, phone, and e-mail to numerous devices, such as mobile phones, Drexel-owned landline phones, and e-mail accessible devices. This system provides Drexel students, faculty, and staff with an additional layer of security and protection for emergency response, in conjunction with the University's already well-established emergency communication methods, such as Drexel-wide broadcast e-mails, online updates via the Drexel website homepage, and the coordinated use of public media outlets.

The effectiveness of this emergency notification system depends upon individuals providing accurate and up-to-date personal contact information.

All references to "Drexel University" or the Drexel University "community" also include the students, faculty, and staff of the Drexel University College of Medicine.
