Securing a safe learning environment and campus community is a top priority for emergency administrators and safety officials. During an actual emergency, how can emergency administrators ensure everyone will remember their roles? AlertU recommends system administrators send emergency alert notification test messages once a quarter to their college campus subscriber base.

AlertU System Testing
System testing reminds your campus community they are subscribed to the college emergency notification system. During an actual emergency, subscribers will receive the text message and will understand how a campus emergency alert notification is communicated.

Updating School Database
Text alert messages allow subscribers the option to remove their mobile number from the college AlertU database. Text alert messages to subscribers should contain instructions on how to unsubscribe from AlertU, as subscribers may have left the college.

Stay Familiar with Procedure
Proactive and scheduled emergency alert notification system testing allows AlertU administrators and account managers to stay familiar using the AlertU platform. Regular testing allows administrators and account managers to practice accessing and setting up alerts so when the need arises, they are flawless in executing alerts during an emergency. It is important to note: more than 9 out of 10 support calls to AlertU are from administrators requesting username and passwords.
