U-M implements campus wide 'Emergency Broadcast System'

In the wake of recent campus shootings at Virginia Tech and Northern Illinois University, the U-M has instituted a text message system to alert students should a campus shooting take place or should another campus emergency (such as Ann Coulter being re-admitted to the Law School there) present itself.

Some examples given as to when students would be alerted:

* When a person actively shooting a weapon is on the loose
* When a tornado is predicted to strike the campus area
* When a major hazardous material spill is impacting a large portion of campus.


If you would like to be set up with such a message program, please follow the link to U-M Emergency Alert
