EAGLE ALERT

Emergency Messaging System

Georgia Southern University has implemented an emergency message alert notification system as one method to contact members of the institution in the event of an emergency.

Update Your Info

Students, faculty and staff may update their emergency contact information through MyGeorgiaSouthern

  1. Visit https://my.georgiasouthern.edu
  2. Login using your username/password
  3. Update your emergency contact information by clicking on "Personal Settings" or the Eagle Alert Channel. If you have a cell phone, please be sure to include that number. EAGLE ALERT will use that number to try to contact you via phone or text message in the event of an emergency.

Note: While Georgia Southern University’s emergency message alert system is free of charge, your cell phone provider may charge a fee for delivery of text messages based on your current calling plan

This service is required and will be used only for potential, developing, or existing emergencies.

In the event of an emergency, you will receive a Georgia Southern University emergency message alert advising you of the situation and directing you to additional information.

Getting the word out - quickly and efficiently

In light of the potential for a crisis to take place on college campuses like the tragedy that occurred last spring at Virginia Tech, Georgia Southern University is reviewing and enhancing its emergency communications systems. The Virginia Tech experience has made it clear that we must have the ability to communicate vital information to the University community as quickly and efficiently as possible during a crisis.

In addition to the text message alert system, several other communications systems will be in place:

Voice mail, email and the Web will also update students, faculty and staff and others about a potentially threatening situation.
