Emergency Notifications

Subscribe Your Family to Emergency Alerts

alertsIcons

You can subscribe an "emergency contact" (i.e., a family member) to the emergency alert notification system to receive notifications from the university.

UW-River Falls categorizes these individuals into a separate notification list with tailored messages for parents, spouses, partners or other loved ones of the people from our university. They may not receive first level notification but may receive notifications as an incident persists. Every incident is different and notification means will be adopted by the Emergency Management Team as needed.

The instructions below will sign up your emergency contact for emergency notification.
