SPU uses the SPU-Alert emergency notification system to send emergency communications to faculty, staff, and students. Messages can be sent via email, text message, loudspeakers, electronic reader boards (located in many classrooms and high-use areas such as Gwinn Commons), and “pop-up” messages on University-maintained computers. SPU-Alert can also send recorded voice messages to mobile phones. In addition to using SPU-Alert, SPU may also post information on the SPU website, tweet information using the SPU Twitter account @SPUnews, or relay information through Building Emergency Coordinators. SPU also uses SPU-Alert when conducting emergency drills.
