NEW TO UGA ALERT – OPT IN FOR SEVERE WEATHER WARNINGS
The University of Georgia has updated its UGA Alert system to let users opt in to receive severe weather warnings—like thunderstorm and flash flood alerts—via text and phone call. This gives students, faculty, and staff more control over the alerts they receive.
All users will still automatically get emergency alerts from the UGA Police Department, including tornado warnings, criminal incidents, and other emergency and hazardous events that impact the entire campus. Weather alerts will also be shared via email, the UGA Safe app, social media, and the emergency.uga.edu website.
UGA encourages everyone to sign up for weather alerts specific to their campus: Athens, Griffin, Gwinnett, Tifton, or Skidaway.
