As a CU Boulder affiliate, whether as a student, faculty or staff member, you receive emergency notifications when campus officials determine there is an imminent threat to life and safety on the CU Boulder campus.
We send these alerts to every colorado.edu email address, as well as to cell phones that are registered in student, faculty and staff databases. These alerts could be issued for anything from severe weather closing the campus to an active harmer situation on campus.
Faculty and staff: Make sure we have your correct information before it is needed. To receive CU Alerts, just to make sure that your cell number is correct and listed in the correct form field.
We also recommend that you register your cell phone number to your home address. While a home landline phone number will automatically receive emergency notifications if there is a threat in your neighborhood, many counties in Colorado offer the ability to register a cell number as well. If you live anywhere in Boulder County, including Boulder, Louisville and Superior, go to the county鈥檚 webpage and link your cell number to your home address.
Also, just last week, the Boulder Police Department launched a new app that will notify users when a serious crime posing a public safety threat has been committed in the city. To download the free app, search for 鈥淏oulder Police鈥� in your Apple app store or Google play station.
