Hawk Alert allows UI administrators to send recorded or electronic emergency messages (“Hawk Alerts”) to UI students, faculty, and staff by cell phone, home phone, office phone, and e-mail (all at once), using contact information from the University’s Enterprise Directory (updated via ISIS or Employee Self Service). The entire campus community can be notified in about 15 minutes.
If you wish to be notified in an emergency, make sure that your contact information is up to date. We also recommend that you provide your cell phone number in the “Alternate Residing Phone” field to make sure a Hawk Alert reaches you in the event that you’re away from your e-mail or landline phones during an emergency. Our intention in encouraging students, faculty, and staff to register their cell phone numbers is so that they can be used as another way to contact you in an emergency, and for no other purpose.
In the event of an actual emergency, the University’s home page is the best place to seek detailed information (or a link to such information).
