Dal’s integrated messaging service updates our community in the case of significant campus closures (severe weather, major power outages), campus hazards (spills, fire, accidents), or other unpredictable events affecting large groups. It uses a variety of messaging — email, web, text messaging — to reach a broad cross section of our community in a timely fashion.
We’ll be testing the system this Thursday, Oct. 25 at around 10 a.m.
Only those who have subscribed to Dal Alert with their cell phone number are able to receive text message alerts, and all employees and students are encouraged to do so. Are you signed up? It's easy – just visit dalalert.dal.ca and follow the instructions. It's the quickest way to get the most important information in the event of the situations described above.
Dal Alert is available now for faculty and staff at the Agricultural Campus. Students at the Agricultural Campus will be integrated into the Dal Alert system in Spring 2013, once their data is moved into the Dal's Banner identification system.
