Upgrading äçÐÄvlogÃâ·ÑBվ’s emergency notification system

Dec. 1, 2025

Dear äçÐÄvlogÃâ·ÑBÕ¾ faculty, staff, and students,

The äçÐÄvlogÃâ·ÑBÕ¾ is upgrading the äçÐÄvlogÃâ·ÑBÕ¾ Alert emergency notification system to include computer alerts that will be displayed on University-issued computers during campus emergencies. 

As part of this upgrade, software will automatically be installed on University-issued laptop and desktop computers running Windows and Mac operating systems. These installations will be rolled out by Information Technology Services over the next several weeks. No action is required on your part.

When äçÐÄvlogÃâ·ÑBÕ¾ Alert is activated for a campus emergency, computers running äçÐÄvlogÃâ·ÑBÕ¾ Alert software will display an emergency message on their screens with the same content sent to the community via text, phone, and email. This will include individual computers as well as kiosk computers in classrooms and lecture halls.

Should you have questions about the äçÐÄvlogÃâ·ÑBÕ¾ Alert system, please contact the äçÐÄvlogÃâ·ÑBÕ¾ Office of Emergency Management at emergency@etal.uri.edu. If you have technical questions about the äçÐÄvlogÃâ·ÑBÕ¾ Alert software being installed on university-issued computers, please submit a help desk ticket via email at helpdesk@uri.edu or via the .
