BRRR ... Winter Weather Brings Reminder to Update TechAlert Information

It may be sunny and warm during your lunch hour today, but according to the National Weather Service, an arctic front is expected to plunge into the region late this afternoon and this evening bringing sharply colder temperatures and gusty northerly winds. Track local conditions here.

A new semester means it’s time to review two primary mechanisms by which we communicate important safety and emergency updates with the university community.

First is the online Emergency Communications Center, a public Web site that provides safety tips along with important updates. Second is TechAlert!, an externally hosted service through which we can send critical information and updates via voice, text and e-mail. These systems allow us to communicate quickly, but also provide redundancy in case of delay with one particular aspect of the system.

Your eRaider e-mail account is automatically enrolled in TechAlert!, but be sure to update cell phone, home phone or text message information at www.ttu.edu/emergency. Up to four telephone numbers can be registered.

You can also find updates on the main university home page in addition to our social media outlets on Facebook and Twitter.
