Students, faculty and staff are automatically enrolled in UMW Alerts with contact information registered with the University, including UMW email address and cell phone number. The University adds incoming students in August with the start of classes and new community members are added weekly with employment.
Community members can update their information at any time by visiting the Emergency Alerts website.
UMW Alerts connects with the National Weather Service to share storm warnings and watches, so users also received these notices directly on registered devices. The summer test is timed within Hurricane Season, as a reminder to prepare for severe weather. No action is required during the test.
