Vanderbilt University Public Safety will conduct a test of the AlertVU emergency notification system on Tuesday, Aug. 29, at 2:30 p.m.
AlertVU rapidly sends messages in the event of an imminent threat or danger to the Vanderbilt community.
All Vanderbilt University and medical center students, faculty and staff are automatically enrolled in the system using their university and medical center email addresses. Additionally, cell phone numbers provided by students to the university are automatically enrolled in the AlertVU database. It is recommended to register other contact points, such as cell or home phone numbers* or personal email accounts, to receive AlertVU messages when away from Vanderbilt email accounts.
Before the test, it is recommended that all staff, faculty and students review and update their contact information to ensure AlertVU message delivery.
How to update your contact information: faculty and staff
