Emergency Mass Notification Service

Tragic events on college campuses across the country highlight the University's need for mass emergency communications. In the event of imminent danger, the University must be able to broadcast targeted messages quickly and reliably to faculty, staff, and students at one or all campuses.

To ensure emergency communication, the University of Missouri is introducing the Emergency Mass Notification Service (EMNS) to deliver alert messages to all campuses using multiple communication methods, including text message, e-mail, and voice messages to cell and land-line phones. EMNS will be fully operational on Dec. 1, 2007. The system will be expanded in 2008 to include pager communications.

Cell phone and text-message numbers must be entered into the system. Students, faculty, and staff are responsible for entering and updating their contact information whenever changes occur. Follow the instructions below to enter your contact information. Contact information is kept confidential and removed from the system when a person leaves the University.

Benefits of EMNS

• Receive emergency notification no matter where you are.
• Used only for true emergencies (natural disaster; human or technological crisis).
• No charge for service. (Please note that your cell carrier may charge for text messages.)
• Update your contact information anytime, online.
• Contact information is kept secure and confidential.
• Never used for spam!
• Replying to a notification stops further message delivery attempts.
