The University of California, Davis will conduct a test of its emergency notification system, WarnMe, at noon on Wednesday, January 28.
Members of the campus community are encouraged to verify and update their contact information on the WarnMe website. The system already includes official email addresses but allows users to add up to five personal email addresses and mobile numbers for each delivery method.
WarnMe messages provide information and directions regarding emergencies that pose an immediate threat to life and safety. Aggie Alert messages, sent using the same system and contact information, provide notification about events on and around Davis campus facilities that may cause disruption to normal activities.
WarnMe and Aggie Alert messages can be sent by email and text to those who have a ucdavis.edu email address. Messages are displayed on a webpage with links to additional sources of information and resources and may also be posted to the Everbridge Mobile App, and UC Davis’ official accounts on Facebook and X.
Parents, vendors, and others without a UC Davis email address can sign up to receive WarnMe and Aggie Alert messages that the Davis campus distributes by text message by texting UCDALERTS to 888777.
