Radford University Emergency Notification System

Radford University uses multiple communication technologies to quickly notify students, faculty, staff, and visitors of a perceived or actual threat and/or emergency situation that may directly impact the campus community. Students, faculty, and staff are automatically enrolled into Radford Alert through their Banner profile.  This allows those users to receive Radford Alert messages via cell phone calls, SMS messaging, and personal email addresses. Radford Alert also provides an opt-in option for our Highlander family, friends, visitors, vendors or contractors on a short- or long-term basis.
