Emergency Mass Notification Service
Wouldn't you want to know immediately if an emergency situation was occurring on the MU campus?
Tragic events on college campuses across the country highlight the University's need for mass emergency communications. To that end, the University has introduced the new Emergency Mass Notification Service (EMNS). In case of an emergency or disaster on campus, EMNS will send you emergency alerts as text messages, e-mails, and voice mails.
Benefits of EMNS
- Receive emergency notification no matter where you are.
- Used only for true emergencies (natural disaster; human or technological crisis).
- No charge for service. (Please note that your cell carrier may charge for text messages.)
- Update your contact information anytime, online.
- Contact information is kept secure and confidential.
- Never used for spam!
- Replying to a notification stops further message delivery attempts.
The Emergency Mass Notification Service will become fully operational on December 1, 2007. But we can't reach you if we don't have up-to-date contact information! You need to tell us the best way to reach you. If you haven't already done it, please enter your contact info now using the instructions below. You'll also need to update your contact information whenever changes occur. We keep this contact info confidential, and when you leave the university, we'll remove you from the system.
How to enter your contact info:
- Go to myZou. (This link will open in a new window or tab, so you can refer back to these instructions.)
- Log in with your PawPrint and password.
- Click Self Service on the main page or in the left-hand menu.
- Click Campus Personal Information on the main page or in the left-hand menu.
- Click Phone Numbers.
- Add your contact information (cell phone and/or text messaging) and choose your preferred method of contact.
- Click Save.
