The University of Texas at Austin and its police department are responsible for notifying faculty, staff, and students of emergency situations (e.g., inclement weather, building evacuations, campus closures, etc.). The University employs a wide variety of tools to make sure everyone on campus is informed during an emergency event—including text messaging.

In order to accomplish emergency text messaging more effectively, the University is collecting cell phone numbers from members of our campus community.
