Emergencies can happen any time. That’s why it’s important for you to be able to get information fast.
The University of Alabama uses UA Alerts and other methods to notify students, faculty and staff in the event of an emergency. If you haven’t been receiving UA Alerts calls or text messages, you may need to update your contact information in myBama.
When should I update my contact information?
Any time your personal information changes you should update it in myBama.
How do I update my information?
Is my information private?
Yes. Your contact information will only be used by the University for emergency notifications and official business use.
UA will not call, text or email students or employees asking for updated contact information. Each member of the UA community is responsible for maintaining their emergency contact information.
Still have questions?
Visit the UA Alerts page. You can also receive information about emergency situations on campus by downloading the UA Safety App for iOS and Android devices.
Who else needs to have your current contact information?
Don’t forget to update your contact information with health care providers, financial institutions, people on your emergency contact list, and anywhere you have your information stored. If you have a pet, make sure to update your contact information with your vet and your pet’s microchip company.
Is it working?
If your contact information is up to date, you should receive the next test of UA Alerts, weather permitting, on Wednesday, Sept. 1, at 11:55 a.m.
