LU-ALERT Provides Emergency Communication

During an emergency, when every minute counts, being able to quickly and effectively reach each member of the campus community with important information is critical.

For this reason students, faculty and staff members are being asked to provide their primary cell phone number to Lehigh’s emergency messaging system, LU-ALERT. This new service will be administered through an external provider, e2Campus. Cell phone numbers collected through this process will be stored in a secure database and will not be listed in the Lehigh directory or available on Lehigh’s Web site. In the event of an emergency, participants will receive a text message. Although many individuals provided this information to Lehigh last spring, for legal reasons everyone is now required to re-register.

Sign up at http://www.lehigh.edu/lu-alert. For those without a cell phone, there is an option to sign up for email only notification on the same site. Please contact the Help Desk (8-HELP) with any questions.
