On the Athens campus, UGA Alert emergency notifications or timely warnings are usually sent by the UGA Police Department. Messages can be authorized by: the UGA President, any Vice President; Chief of Police (or acting Chief of Police), and Director of Emergency Preparedness (or acting director).
UGA Alert emergency notifications are automatically activated when the National Weather Service issues a tornado warning. UGA Weather Alerts will be sent when there is a Severe Thunderstorm or Flash Flood Warning. UGA Weather Alerts are sent to everyone by email and users can opt-in to receive voice and text alerts for Severe Thunderstorm Warnings and Flash Flood Warnings.
Information about UGA Alert activation at other UGA campuses can be found here.
