How will I be notified when a BearAlert has been activated?
BearAlert has several communication methods, but the primary and most effective way is through your smartphone device. By installing the app, users will receive push notifications in the event an alert has been activated.
Public Safety also has beacons installed on campus that will produce a loud, audible notification, with an LED display and instructions.
Furthermore, all university-owned computers will have software built in that will allow the screen to be taken over if a BearAlert has been issued, which will help alert classrooms and offices across campus.
