UFAlert emergency notification systems test

December 1, 2010

Today is a test of UFAlert emergency notification systems. This UF home page notification is posted in conjunction with the test. If this were an actual emergency, updates and additional information on the situation would be provided on the university’s home page.

If you had trouble receiving either the text or e-mail message, please review the information below.

Text Messaging
Students, faculty and staff are encouraged to update their emergency contact information in MyUFL in order to receive text messages. Updates can be made at MyUFL > My Account > Update Emergency Contact. Everyone is encouraged to add the five-digit number “23177” in your cell phone contact list and name it “UFAlert.” This will assist in identifying future, authorized UF text messages on your mobile phone.

• If you received the message in error or don’t want to receive UFAlert messages:
  Text “STOP UFAlert” to 23177
• If you didn’t receive the message but would like to know if you are registered with the system:
  Text “SUBSCRIBE UFAlert” to 23177. If you are in the system, you will receive a text indicated the number has already been opted-in. (T-Mobile customers will need to text “Y UFAlert” in response to two separate texts if adding a new number)

E-mail
All active ufl.edu e-mail accounts are automatically included in the UFAlert e-mail notifications. If problems occurred with delivery of the email and you have an active ufl.edu account, please ensure the address UF-DISASTER-WARNING@LISTS.UFL.EDU in the “To” field of e-mails is white listed with your college or department IT provider and associated spam filtering systems.
