JMU will conduct a test of the emergency notification systems on Wednesday, February 4 at 12:30 p.m. At that time, the on-campus outdoor siren and PA systems will be tested with a siren and audible broadcast message. Also, an email will be sent to all students, faculty, staff and affiliates, and a text message/voice message will be sent to the cell phones of all individuals who have enrolled for emergency notification through MyMadison, and an alert through the JMU Shield app.
Here's how to stay informed:
If you have not already enrolled to receive emergency notifications via your cell phone, or if you have changed your cell phone number since you enrolled in emergency notification, please log in to MyMadison by noon on Tuesday, February 3. Provide your cell phone information and authorize its use by the university for emergency notification:
- Students - see Phone Numbers on your Student Center
- Employees - see Phone Numbers under the Employee tab
Please note that you must explicitly authorize JMU to contact you via your cell phone for emergencies. Additionally, please be sure that you have downloaded JMU Shield and enabled push notifications.
If you have any questions about the enrollment process, contact the IT Help Desk at 568-3555 or helpdesk@jmu.edu.
