Public Safety and the Emergency Planning Committee have partnered with Nixle.com to introduce the Campus Safety Network to help keep you informed of emergency and critical information on campus. This service is intended to supplement the existing Emergency Alert System at UC. While we currently send out e-mail messages to all members of our community about violent criminal activity in the area, we have had requests for more frequent and detailed information. By signing up on the Nixle web page, you can choose to have information sent to your e-mail accounts, text messages to your cell phone, or just view the information on the web page. This system is not a replacement for the campus voice warning system which will continue to be the primary means of making emergency announcements to the entire campus. It also does not replace the opt-in Emergency Text Messaging System which is used if there is an imminent threat to the safety and security of the campus community or to announce a weather-related university closing.
