As part of OHIO’s continued commitment to ensuring our University community has the information, resources and support needed to be prepared for severe weather and/or a campus emergency, all 91̽»¨ employees will be automatically enrolled in the OHIO Alert email, text and phone (phone for Regional Higher Education (RHE) locations only) notification system beginning Wednesday, October 9.  This is a change from previous practice, which required employees to manually opt-in to receive emergency notifications.

Receive timely emergency communications from OHIO

Being part of the notification system means you’ll receive critical updates when they matter most. Whether it’s severe weather or an emergency on campus, these alerts are designed to help keep you safe and informed.

Please note: You will receive OHIO Alert notifications only in the event of an imminent weather event or campus emergency that could negatively impact the life, health and/or safety of the University community at your campus location(s). Additionally, there is no charge for receiving OHIO Alert notifications to your mobile phone beyond those that may already be applied by your mobile service provider.

What to expect during the enrollment process

On Wednesday, October 9 at approximately 12 p.m., all OHIO employees will receive email, text and phone (RHE only) notifications to the contact information they have provided to the University.

• These messages will officially confirm your enrollment in the OHIO Alert emergency notification system; they will also include information about the OHIO Alert system and instructions for reviewing and updating your current personal contact information.
• If you would like to opt out of the OHIO Alert notification system after Oct. 9, you may do so online.
• Additionally, if OHIO faculty and staff have not yet shared their contact information with OHIO and would like to do so to receive OHIO Alert notifications, sign-up instructions are available online.

Stay Current. Remain Informed.

Moving forward, all faculty and staff will continue to be automatically signed up for alerts based on the contact information they have provided to the University.

To ensure you continue receiving these important alerts, we encourage you to regularly review and update your contact information. OHIO Alert is configured to contact only the preferred email and mobile phone number you’ve provided to the University.
