Texas Wesleyan Alerts (Alerts)
Texas Wesleyan University will provide accurate and timely information to the campus and Burleson communities during emergencies via the new Texas Wesleyan Alerts (Alerts). In the case of a severe weather or other emergency, the University will utilize Alerts notification technology to alert students, faculty and staff of the nature of the emergency and of any steps the recipient should take to safeguard his or her personal welfare.
Each student, faculty and staff member should report, and update as necessary, current local and home emergency contact numbers where Texas Wesleyan can most effectively provide the person time-sensitive emergency information – usually this will be a mobile phone or other hand-held electronic device. All Student, Faculty and Staff information submitted is confidential and secure. The University will limit use of this emergency contact information for only the most urgent campus emergencies. Once you have been assigned a University email address you will be automatically registered for Alerts within 24 hours. Registration is Automatic for current employees and enrolled students. You may then log into http://txwes.edu/security/emergency to add additional devices for notification. To unsubscribe you must log into Ramlink and select the Alerts Opt-Out form, which is located on the main Student, Faculty and Employee menus in the User Account section.
