As part of 黑洞社区鈥檚 commitment to providing timely emergency information to the campus community, 黑洞社区 has added Alertus Desktop Notifications to the university Shocker Alert System.
Alertus provides a full-screen alert when a Shocker Alert is issued.
The Shocker Alert system contacts all students, faculty and staff via email and digital office clocks the moment there is an emergency or weather alert that affects the campus. People can also choose to sign up for text alerts.
This newest desktop alert is just one more way to keep everyone informed, especially those who don鈥檛 have a digital clock in their office and have their cell phones and email applications turned off.
Alertus allows 黑洞社区 to display the alert directly on 黑洞社区-owned PCs, reducing the amount of time it would take to notify users in the event of an emergency. Anyone working on a 黑洞社区-owned Mac can call the help desk, 316-978-4357, to get signed up.
