Phone alerts

UNK will now be sending alert messages via phone, either an actual call, text message or both. This new protocol will hopefully help in the speed of delivering emergency messages to students.

According to the Kearney Hub, "Students and staff will be notified during tornadoes, ice and snowstorms, fires, hazardous materials leaks, floods, bomb threats, earthquakes, bio-terrorism, shootings, a pandemic, attacks with weapons of mass destruction, or any other emergency that requires action by the campus."

School officials wanted multiple ways of notifying students in case of any emergency and phones and text messages open the options even further and quicker.
