FAU Alert is the University's alert and notification system that informs the University community of potential or actual emergency events or threats. The University recognizes that no single method of communication will reach everyone, everywhere, every time. Therefore, FAU Alert comprises several tools, including blast e-mails, text messages, call-outs, outdoor warning sirens, and more. See the "More about FAU Alert" section below.
Depending on your mobile phone/data plan, your carrier may charge you a fee to receive FAU Alert messages when modules such as text messaging are utilized.
