Faculty and staff: Stay informed in emergencies
IU offers more than one way to learn of an emergency in real time. The Alertus app, available in IUware to all faculty and staff, grabs your attention with a full-screen pop-up alert on your desktop. Alertus can also tell which campus you are on and will notify you of any emergencies there.
IU-Notify, which sends emergency notifications to email addresses and phones, is another important safety measure. Between Alertus and IU-Notify, we’ll keep you informed, wherever you are at IU.
Visit the Knowledge Base to learn more about Alertus or download the Alertus app.
